Child Labour.
Not writing about a pregnant woman’s child labour,
But about child labour,
About child prostitution,
And child destitution,
About children in the army,
When they should be with their mommy,
About children in factories,
And children in industries,
Who work hardest,
Their jobs the crudest,
Their pay minimal,
Their treatment animal,
About children hawking,
And children working,
When they should be in school,
Studying to make their future cool,
This is what we, God and nature are against,
This is what we need arms against,
Not guns and bombs,
To multiply the tombs,
We need love and peace,
To regain every valuable piece,
To negotiate a bright future,
Which follows the laws of nature,
To avoid to get the future complicated,
We need to get our children educated.
