Suffer the Little Children

Suffer the little children that hide their pain For these innocent victims, who’s to blame? Although many a tragedy happen at home Society, itself, inflicts harsh pains of its own Danger and violence are a part of everyday And, the children know it shouldn’t be that way The remain fearful in living with all they endure Safety and security, they never know for sure Clinging to anything showing an open arm They barely survive using sheer wit and charm Restitutional change is imperative somehow Our children need salvation, and they need it now Accepting responsibility is where all must begin To partake in the marking of suffering’s end.
