City Child

I hear ya. Obama should take all these kids from the getto, the streets, the homeless kids and the gang bangers and put them on a dude ranch for a while. I really don't know if this is the answer but I do know that what we ar4e doing doing now to turn around our nations youth is not working. These are our future leaders people, If we don't guide them now then we have no one to blame but ourselves for how they turn out. Sorry about the rant.

This was amazing! beautifully done and a true portrayal. it makes me realize how fortunate i was for my childhood :) thanks for sharing

Inner city child

If only I could give to you
Natures peace, for just one day!

What a sad poem. Very heart wrenching. It tears at the heart to know your words are so true. I'm sure you bring sunshine to many childrens days.
Great job!
