Standby

The world should be a beautiful place

The world should be living in peace

But it is not.

Not at the government's understanding but society.

Citizens of America has children 

Can other countries not ?

Why do they not get the same - clothes, food, shelter, clean water

America has good health

Standby.

America had Katrina but got help quickly

Other counties have shortages like Katrina all the time

But where are the people ? The help ?

Standby.

America is a beautiful place

America is living in peace

But it is not.

Publicized harm of children and adolescents

They are shoved

They are verbally abused

They are hurt

They cry and scream and yell stop !

But what does America see ?

Other children and adolescents view and laugh

Poke fun

Standby.

I have spoke my mind now.

Will you as well standby ?
