********************

Every single day in Africa
There's a child out there
Who's hungry and sick without meds.
And also without shelter and clothing
Needing for your love and succor
Every single day in Africa
A child goes hungry to bed
Looking badly malnourished and ill-fed
Not sure where and when the next meal comes
Lives in slums in unhygienic conditions
In a bid to break barriers and above par
Every single day in Africa
A child drops out of school
Due to Abject poverty and starvation
And an inability to pay  for school
Which results to disillusionment
Every single day in Africa
A child is psychologically abused
Sent out on the cold streets
To hawk out a living for his family
In spite of very imminent dangers on his way
Every single day in Africa
A child wakes up to harsh realities
Sold into prostitution, slavery and crime
Against their own very wishes
To a world of hate and bestiality
So many have lost hope.
Some have had ,but their trust damaged
Some are living for the day
Some are living with a hope day after day
Waiting for what tomorrow brings
In a cruel world that cares less
About the future of the African Children.

Will there be anyone who would give them a light of hope?
Will there be someone to give warmth to their cold souls?
Will someone go up to them and try to mend their broken and damaged hearts?
Will there be anyone to provide them with adequate food, shelter and medications?
Is anyone willing to go up to them and embrace them with all their love and cares?
Is anyone willing to stand up and give them the gift of education?
Is there  anyone willing to fight for their rights?
Is there anyone willing to help them attain the life they deserve?
Is there anyone who would stand up for them and pull them out of their miseries?
Is there a single soul to give them what they deserve?
Is there anyone who cares for The Children of Africa?
Will anyone stand and be there for The Children of Africa?
Is there anyone who can see the beauty of these children?
Is there anyone who can sense the beauty in them just like Africa's  natural beauty?
Will anyone pledge with me today to care for and to hug with open heart The Children of Africa?
