Rotten Dreams

Rotten Dreams

 

They take the little ones

Soft as a fontanel

They take the girls and sons

And make their life a hell

 

Innocent children stolen

Sweet as they can be

Starved till guts are swollen

Sold in slavery

 

Threatened with a blade

They take away their hopes

Little minds afraid

Tightly bound with ropes

 

People turn their backs

Pretend that they don’t see

Kids fall through the cracks

It won’t hurt you and me

 

Finally come the saviors

A Muslim and a Jew

Changing our behaviors

We need your help too

    Short but powerful!!!

    This really brings out the emotion and tears at your heart. Like you, I don't see how people could perpetuate evil like this! They can not be human but have demonic hearts like something twisted and evil! How can they continue knowing the evil they do is wrong? Thanks!
