a voice for silent children

O LORD, how have I been ignorant?
Forgive my callous heart
and may I have compassion.
No to sympathy, No to empathy
and Yes to action.
Yes to prayer and to enlightment.
Give me the words to say
and perseverance
and persistence
and passion.
Above all passion
for these little ones.

God, dear God!
Please break this cycle.
Cycle of violence.
Generations to come are ruined
now jaded by blood.
They have bathed in it
and see no other way.
Peace, peace for the little ones.
