I see the world
Through still young eyes
But it still amazes
And catches me by surprise
The hunger, the pain
I can’t believe what I see
The anger, the hate
How can this all be?
Children dying
And still nothing stops
Crime infected areas
Where are all the cops?
Kids playing with guns
And shooting up schools
It makes me wonder
About all those rules
No eating in class
No eating in the halls Whatever happened to Making those calls?
Teens getting pregnant
Messing up their lives Becoming depressed Then playing with knives Children being neglected And even abused Never knowing any feeling Other than being used Fathers leave Mothers cry Leaving their children Only to wonder why Dads working late Mothers’ complaining it’s too hot Their kids?
They’re out smoking pot
Snorting coke
Dropping acid
I don’t even remember
What it was you did by Kriss
In her still young eyes
I see the pain
Many times she has nearly escaped
But he has caught her again
Year after year
Day after day
She has tried to leave
But love makes her stay
She sees the rude glances
And notices the stares
They all see what's happening
But no one seems to care
Her most precious gift of life
Was taken away so young
Her innocence was stolen
But her song will soon be sung
I am telling you this story
Hoping she will cry for help
I want to see her still young eyes
Come alive with love and hope. by Samantha
