The Children's Cry

This is a very old poem, in fact it was written while I was still in high school.

In a world that doesnt know
Lies a child of four in pain,
Too poor for medicine
Her mother cries in shame.

In a world that doesnt share
A baby does cry,
Too hungry to sleep
The little one will die.

In a world that doesnt care
A little boy does dream,
Yet in his real-life nightmare
He can only scream.

In a world that doesnt hear
The cries of the children sound,
In agony will leave the children
Forever bound.
