The Children

By will dunn •
Do you see the smile on that child's face?
Do you see the children playing?
Do you hear the children singing?
Do you hear the children laughing?
and having fun?
These are the children
and time passes
and it's as if a storm envelopes them all
The ominous clouds arrive
The rain beats down
The winds howl
and there are thefts,and there are beatings
there are drugs and there are guns
there are rapes and there are murders
We all know
but what we don't know
what happened to all the children?
Where?
Where did all the children go?
