Outcry of children

Challenges of the womb were many

I survived all those challenges

My mom and dad killed before I was born

I begged and pleaded I want to live

Challenges of the world were many

I survived most of it still I had to die

A kidnapper molested and killed me

I begged and pleaded I want to live

Challenges in growing up were many

I thrived in many and lost in few

My friends bullied and killed me

I begged and pleaded I want to live

' I begged and pleaded I want to live'

'Suffer the little children to... ' tragically lost in translation, Linda. You've laid such blunt words into your poem, each stanza hits home, each truth worse than worse can be. Seems the weaker a being is, the more abusive filth enjoys life. How depraved is society.. not merely Today, but through time historical.

It is said "What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger" No doubt we all have to face tragedies that change us, how we change depends on our outlook and state of mind.

You bring all those abuses and evils to the forefront so people can realize the gravity of the situation(s) and find some remedies for these ills. Children indeed are the most vulnerable and their welfare and protection should be paramount. Lead on. Excellent.

It is a global shame that not more is done to address the abuse, cruelty inflicted on this world's children.
