I weep for the children born into dispair,
Those who's parent just didn't care
A child is a gift from heaven above,
"I never asked to be born, I've only asked for love."
Somewhere in the world, a child is met with a fist,
But she's not the only one, Mommy is next on Daddy's list.
Going to school with black and blue eyes,
"The beatings would be worse unless teachers were told lies."
In Another place, a child is controlled by fear,
The house must be clean before Mom gets here.
Must move fast, there is much to do today,
"Don't have time for homework, Mom says I am stupid anyway."
At this moment, Mom leaves the children all alone,
When will she be back, that was never known.
Never going to school they couldn't read a book,
"I guess we'll just starve, we don't know how to cook."
These innocent kids are the future of tommorrow,
I can only pray that they won't continue the sorrow.
Children live and learn by what they see.
"Hey, Mom and Dad, I'm like you! Are ya proud of me?"
They're going out into the world only knowing how to hate,
Abusing our future, in the end,
we seal everyone's fate.
When the tables have turned,
You reap what you sow.
"Hey, payback's a bitch or didn't you know?"
