Limerick: Save The Children

Rating: 5.0


Our faces should really be red;
Change never gets done, only said.
Will we get new laws
In spite of their flaws
When all of our children are dead?

An excellent limerick, it gets 10/10 from me. I think the limerick holds good for my country as well, on a different perspective, i.e 'road accidents'. So, I've copied your poem and pasted it on my Facebook wall, giving due credit to the author. I hope, it would meet with your kind approval.
