And another child has just starved
The age of the opening of a brand new page
And another child has just starved
The age of Justice and Unity the new day
And another child has just starved
The age of medicine and fair pay
And another child has just starved
The age of reason and freedom from want
And another child has just starved
The age of enlightenment and renewal in the font
And another child has just starved
The age of holidays in space
And another child has just starved
The age where all protections are in place
And another child has just starved
The age of equality under the law
And another child has just starved
The age of peace and freedom for all
And another child has just starved
The age of communication and love
And another child has just starved
The age of communion and deliverance from above
And another child has just starved
The age of living without any fear
And another child has just starved
The age of another vote next year
And another child has just starved
The age of obesity and the over fed
And another child has just starved
The age of where the Devil has led
And count the number of children who starve

very strong – the terrible truth.
we’re all going to hell in a handbasket
Gregory John O... replied
Thanks Hsien-ku. All too sad, too true..
Barbara Cliff
Oh dear, its awful to be reminded of the terrible truth—alas! But it has to be said, because its something we try to forget, well I do. Trouble is we feel helpless, and no, I don’t spend on more than I and doggies need, and do donate to some charities—but its not enough! Alas! our selfish greed has many effects and time will tell -cause and effect.
Gregory John O... replied
Too true Barbara, I hope it changes,, soon !1
