Caged Child


A caged child is aware
of life’s dreams but unable
to live them. Seeking
peace from with in, its only
chance for survival.

Life’s unforgiving for those
who are prisoner to freedoms
realm, and darker the
destiny becomes if nobody takes
a chance on them.

Man has learned in so
many ways how to take from the
weaker of the species and
this also includes their own
off spring.

In times past there were
certain codes, family, blood, and
love these placed mental
boundaries of a sort between them
and the willingness to
betray even the dearest of souls.

Like wise so called humanity
has turned its back as well, faint
out of fear to get involved.
Because man has devised so many
ways of entrapment for those
that’s wish to intervene.

Pleading the child learns  
and those that put them there
in a state of abuse should
plea for life’s chance at
freedom and not be shown any
mercy or roam life freely.

So give of your heart if
you see a child that knows not
of freedom and scorn those
that put them there.

Hi
Marge and Irish Rose

Thank you for your kind replys to this poem. I find that during this time of year it is especially importain to rememeber the children in need of any kind, but most importainly the child missing love and wormth companionship and stability. In the world to day compamys and T.V. promote the gathering of gitfs to spread amoung the needy children yet these same children go home to abuse and no cloths, food or even a bed, now don't get me wrong I think what there doing is awesome but this should be looked at ALL YEAR long with the same fervernt desire to help don't you think, any way thanks again and have a wonderful holiday. Just something I have been thinking about as I see all of the advertisements about gifts for the needy.

Love, Cerenity
