We All Agree (Children As Victims...) Poem by Karl Stuart Kline

Statistics are terrible, we all agree,
Thousands, even millions, annually
Lose their lives to abuse and slavery.

It's deplorable, I'm sure we all agree,
When Daddy's liquored up, taking PCP
And comes home to beat the Hell out of me

And of course it's a shame, we all agree,
That so much is done with impunity,
In many nations, it's done legally!

I think it's wonderful that we all agree,
I'm happy that something eventually
Will be done for children so much like me.

I even think that you will agree with me,
I'm more than just another casualty,
More than anything that you thought I'd be

But since everything's done so slowly,
It's too late to do anything for me
And I'll already be a mortality...
