Now Is The Time Poem by Dave Dunn

Now Is The Time

And the children keep on coming
Though it's not their fault you see
Thirteen million of them are lost
With greater need than simple poverty

These are the orphans of the world
With a need far too great to overlook
Let's forego some rounds of ammunition
And ask all in power to take a closer look

As orphan numbers swell in life now
So ever more in casualties they do cost
Worse than the wars we daily read about
Three thousand every day are being lost

Bring every voice to bear upon those we need to sign
Papers that will bring power to send Hope to them all
Action now is needed for our love in action to show
This is a great big thing we ask what a shame it isn't small
