Poem
A fatherless generation 153 million or more Abandoned and forgotten Desperate and poor A prisoner to hopelessness Everyday so full of fear In this chaotic world they live in Nothing is ever clear Could one soul make a difference.. If one could bring love near? I've seen a thousand pictures That can't escape my mind Children without futures, special needs of every kind So much pain and suffering And none of it makes sense Orphans weary and distressed In the present tense So forgive me, my friends if this sounds intense... But I'm gonna say this loud to make it clear We've got to be doers we can't disappear We really need to care let's remove excuse and fear You and me are the difference If we bring love near! Today precious babies Are abandoned with HIV or Downs The world sees them as broken Unwanted, lost and unfound I pray there'll rise an advocate Who refuses to let this be So I'm gonna say this loud to make it clear We've got to be doers we can't disappear We really need to care let's remove excuse and fear You and me are the difference if we bring love near! In another country That seems so far away A teenage orphaned princess Is aging out today Someone needs to cry out This sex-trade tragedy is not ok So will you say this loud to make it clear We've got to be doers we can't disappear We really need to care let's remove excuse and fear You and me are the difference if we bring love near! Let's advocate loud, and not disappear If we really care, we can bring love near! ~Lyric Man Note: This is a write about the plight of fatherless orphans in our world. My passion is caring for hurting, vulnerable children. I use every resource I have to advocate internationally. I pray my life will be used to make a difference!
