This poem is for our little Angels here on earth
I hope this poem will help their self-worth
My heart’s saddened when I read words of children today
I read their poems an see their painful dismay
Isn't it time to set their pains and confusions free
Love is what our children need, can't you see!
Their fears and confusion are to much to endure
We have to make their lives more secure
Help them release pain, no matter how foolish it sounds
Children are crying inside don't you see they’re profound?
Have you touched and embraced your child lately?
Wake the hell up listen to their plea
They’re destroying their own hopes and dreams
No guidance from anyone it seems
Shootings in school, I’m shocked and appalled
No wonder our children are totally withdrawn
Start loving and caring for them, they’re a part of you!
You better pray someday they’ll return love too
Did you touch and caress your child today?
If this shooting keeps up what a price they’ll pay
You didn't love them with all your best
Now your seeing them dead and laid to rest
If this poem has upset you then you know that it’s true
And I have accomplished what I wanted to do
I write this out of anger and I guess I’m through
With writing thoughts of children and what they do
I'm not writing this poem to win a prize
Just wish some people would open their eyes
Read their poems and you will see
What’s happening and Maybe; you will agree
