So many children – v4

All around the world,
in our own backyards,
so many children
sleeping in poverty;
So many dying
when they should live

So many wars
dividing nations
no water, no food,
nothing to eat;
So many children
caught in the middle.

Warring factions
nowhere to run
so many dying
when there is plenty;
How do we sleep soundly
each night while this continues.
