Plight Of Poor Children In Streets Poem by Dr John Celes

Many children are poor and lost,
And wander in the busy towns,
Much mal-nourished and poorly clad,
With unkempt hair, and skin disease.

Their eyes have lost their sheen and tear;
They are not sure of food today;
And dangers lurk around corners;
They could be used, misused, abused!

This world of lucre does not care;
Such children walk, bereft of love;
Their future is too bleak and bad;
Just God alone can care for them.

The world can make their plight better,
But who will be the trend-setter?
