 Poem:

STREET CHILDREN

 

On this cold winter’s night
Only poor street children are in sight
No blankets, no shoes
How on earth will they make it through
Besides their cold faces,
Wet legs and muddy traces.
They stand here all alone
With no umbrella nor a phone.
It’s such a sad sight
To be out, on this cold night,
You should be in bed all nice and tight
Not wet and cold, with no one to hold.
You are preciuos, were u ever told?
Someone should know
Just where do they go?
For ,it is a sin!
for these poor street children.
To be in plain sight
On this cold, wet winters night.

Amanda SmithI liek this note very much... :) Its very sad :( AmandaSouth Africa5/14/2009 9:44:41 AM
Letlhogonolo the poem is well written but unfortunately, according to my view point, its focus is wrong. It should be pointed directly to the reader and not to those street children as i feel it is focussed to them. it should make a reader ask him-/herself questions as what are they doing to help reduce this global situation. it is a good poem. i love it.ZA - South Africa4/23/2009 12:08:55 PM
