Can you cry for the children

Can you cry for the children
Can you see it through their eyes
Can you cry for the children
and still not realize
That through all the pain and suffering
in life there is to bare
They're the ones left standing
wondering if we care
Can you cry for the children
and still not see the light
Can you cry for the children
And still sleep through the night
Can you look in the mirror
and say that it's okay
Can you go on tomorrow
the same as yesterday
Can you cry for the children
and hold your head up high
Can you cry for the children
as you sit and watch them die
For there's no use in telling
what you ought to know
The truth is so compelling
You reap just what you sow
Can you cry for the children
and still not share the blame
Can you cry for the children
and still not feel their pain
And through their pain they go on living
with the fear that fills their lives
Through the tears they go on giving
a love that never dies
Can you cry for the children
and take them to your heart
Can you cry for the children
I think it's time we start
For the truth is for the telling
if we help them to be strong
to stop the hurt and yelling
and right this awful wrong

| That was such a beautiful write. It was so touching and insightful to read. It makes me want to cry. Children go through so much in life and it's a shame. I really enjoyed this poem. Beautifully written. |
