Victims All

They go through life defenseless Not knowing reasons why Through battles they are helpless Where most often they just die. From silly custody cases To the ravages of cruel wars You see their crying faces And the pain they've suffered so far. Their eyes stare out so empty Of hope, of joy and dreams No anger for the tragedies They are forced to face, it seems. We are concerned with climate And animals bound for extinction But children of this world's sad fate Need our love and urgent attention. Africa, Iraq, and Afghanistan Whatever place they may come from Let all of us take them in hand Victims all, and they need a home. We call on the wealthy ones and kings We call for hearts to give and share Save these little human beings It costs so little to give love and care.
