So many children – v3

all around the world

in our own backyards

so many children

sleeping in poverty

so many dying, gross inequalities,

the haves and have nots,

when they should live

as our children do at home

so many wars

dividing nations

no water, no food

nothing to eat

so many children

caught in the middle

when they would be safe

as our children are at home

warring factions

nowhere to run

so many dying

when there is plenty

how do we sleep

soundly each night

when they are at risk

not as our children here at home
