The Poor Children by Barbara Goodhew

One night of bliss.
Led to this.
A life of pain, a life of hunger,
A life of illiteracy, a life of wonder.
After we are here then there is regret,
People asks how can God let this go on,
It's not God who does this.

The ones that bring an innocent baby to put up
with the pain and poverty are the ones that do
this.

If we really care about the suffering of these
children. Then stop the cycle.
Educate the unknowing.
Save another innocent life from this horror.

...I agree, education doesn't just mean reading & writing, people need to be educated about all aspects of life.
