Can Real Victims Of Child Poverty: Please Stand Up? Poem by Terence George Craddock

the real victims of child poverty
are not posing for media cameras
are not giving paid global speeches
victims still suffer die in poverty zones...

what speaks volumes
about the political worth
political worthlessness
of power house UN?
no seat focused voice
for victim children dying
neglect horrific deaths
from starvation disease?

children killed mutilated
in mushroom war zones
forced to be child soldiers
to work in inhuman conditions
or max profit sweatshop factories
sold into modern society slavery;

or sexually exploited
no education or opportunities;
but there is a voice
for one elitist who chooses
not to go to school
chooses to sail to the United Nations;
on a perfect private yacht
claims to be the one who has

a stolen childhood
claims she is the real victim
in this abused child group;
child activist Greta
greenie was never a victim
of starvation disease;

child poverty abused exploitation;
Fake News is still alive and well at the UN
plays lip service to star media child
basking in prosperity privilege limelight
The Greta Thunberg Foundation
is not a typical example of child poverty;
