Poetry: Children & poverty

Oh the children, of Uganda...
they need our help...
dying from disease preventable...
such pain is felt...
for the children...
they are starving, they are being abused...
don't look the other way...
living with aids...and nothing much else...
want you help today...
send your pennies...they could save a life,
take these children out of their night...
with the children, of Uganda...
share your light...
kidnapped and sacrificed...on an alter of greed...
we can change it...supply a need...
oh the children...of Uganda...
help the children...of Uganda...

    with his dark eyes and innocent face,

    looking outside into the world he knows,

    and in the

    Poverty a curse on human race
    Little children are brought into this world
    Without knowing what their tomorrow holds
