There are too many children being put in harm’s way because of carelessness. I just want to draw some attention to this problem.

People everywhere, lend me an ear, 
I have something to say that you need to hear.
Bad things are happening to your children today’
creatures of darkness, are taking them away.
Wake up people, and open your eyes’
they are lurking about and telling them lies.
These are your little treasure, given from God above,
all they ask for is unconditional love.
Yet you let them in these creatures of the night’
robbing you blind in plain sight.
of your children, your loves, your prize possessions,
you’d think by now you would’ve learned your lesson
They torture them, kill them, and lock them away,
they’re hoping someone would come for them someday.
Yet you stand idily by and watch them creep,
while these thieves, these killers still walk the street.
These creatures of darkness, some are close to you too,
your sisters, your brothers, or maybe even you.
When it comes to your children no one is excluded,
aunts, uncles, nieces , nephews, all should be included.
Don’t leave  your child in the hands of a stranger’
because leaving them with someone you think you know,
maybe putting them in danger.
So take time people and investigate’
There are creatures out there who are filled with hate.
They’ll take your babies and make them cry’
Then turn right around and tell you a lie.
They’ll say your child is just like their own,
and in the very same breath they’ll wish they were gone.
So love your children, and always protect.
and you’ll be rewarded with their love and respect.
