Our Children Have No Value

Our Children Have No Value

If they did we would not traffic them

If they did we would not leave guns in places they could reach

If they did we would spend more on education than war

If they did we would practice safe sex

If they did we would make sure they have free health care from birth to 18

If they did we would make sure they are fed only healthy food

If they did we would not medicate them because they don’t behave the way we want them to

If they did we would not use them for slave labor

If they did we would put books in their hands instead of phones

If they did parks would be full
If they did we would not make them play year round multi sports

If they did we would not have the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world

If they did we would care for the planet that will be their home

If they did we would not leave them in hot cars

If they did we would see every child as our child, a small human being to be loved, protected, cherished and guided.
