THE INNOCENTS CALL

History records past warriors, hero's and God's mostly male
Man's misspent time a reason why the children's future has failed.

They who have used power and its subsidiaries of fear, prejudice and bias
Male authority figures who abused their title when speaking from a dais.

Man has been the architect, author and authority for the "rule of law"
Children need fairness before coping with the things of piety or pious awe.

Heads of cultures, empires and nations predominately the male gender
Man is responsible for the past and present but he doesn't want to remember.

Man has always honored his dead using metal, wood or stone
Yet blind to the suffering of living children who try to survive alone.

It is not a child's decision in what culture of land they are born
But it is the choice of protective nations to assure them of another dawn.

When a family cannot protect nor provide for the children within
Then one or more nations should come forward and be willing to step in.

Humanity may have started with the male as number one
But it took two to make a brother and sister or daughter and son.

Nations have spent trillions on defense and weapons of war
Yet to protect the future of innocent children we have no moral law.
