    A CHILD

    In a room you hear a cry, a child is asking daddy why
    Mommy watches with nothing to say
    Daddy stops and says go play.
    If she tells will they listen, tears trickle down her little eyes glisten.
    Who does she tell where does she turn?
    Everyone looks the other way its not their concern.

    yes its heart breaking for a child to be sent away. their hearts are full of emotions and they want to express them. its not enough to clothe and feed them, listening with sincerity is what they are looking for. I like the poem. a 10 from me

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
