Shirley Campbell Horton - Listen

Can you hear the children cry? <br /> Why you ask, oh why? <br /> Hunger, bruises, suffering from land <br /> to land <br /> Abuse, wars, fear - <br /> No one to extend a hand <br /> Tears, broken hearts and broken bones <br /> Do you care enough to let them know <br /> they are not all alone <br /> Do you pray that man's cruelty <br /> to man will cease <br /> O has the world grown callous <br /> to the voices for peace <br /> Can you hear the children cry? <br /> Need you ask why, oh why.<br /><br />Shirley Campbell Horton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/listen-8/
