So many children – v5

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

So many wars, splitting,
dividing nations with
no water, no food,
they have nothing to eat;
So many children are
caught in the middle.

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