Poem: Forgotten Treasures

Forgotten Treasures
Skeletal and drained
Abandoned and pained
Searching for food with no luck
Trudging through the waste and muck
Scared and alone
Chewing on meatless bone
Trying to survive in this treacherous place
Tears streaming down their desperate face
Disease nibbling at their heels
As they try to find a meal
No food for today
They go to bed as their bones and muscles continue to decay
No laughter or grins
Their days are all grim
They do not know the feeling of hope
Only the frantic struggle as they attempt to cope
Hunger creates anger and despair
Hunger has no mercy on the victims it wears
These are the children who are expiring and unaided
These are the children who by death’s shadow are always shaded
These are the children who need help right away
They cannot wait forever they need you to care today
These are the children compassion has not caught
These are the children the world has forgot
