Flickering screen-filled adds <br />Begging donations <br />To help ease a bad <br />Start in life............. <br /> <br />The nation's <br />Concern besets <br />Our eyes daily. <br /> <br />Pitiful cases, <br />Left alone.............. <br />Deprived. <br /> <br />Beseeching small faces <br />Haunt our dreams, <br />Armoured.............. <br />With such weary gazes. <br /> <br />Their eyes speak <br />Dramas................ <br />Of lonely <br />Unloved lives. <br /> <br />Painfilled and neglected, <br />Their dulled hearts <br />Revive........... <br />Each hurt. <br /> <br />Which affects <br />Any future ahead. <br />Left in a timeless zone, <br />Feelingless.......... <br /> <br />Thumbs red <br />From sucking, <br />Clutch only........ <br />Some solitary bed. <br /> <br />Will rejection follow <br />These children, <br />Who........... <br /> <br />Prone <br />To expect hollow <br />Existence...... <br /> <br />Do not know <br />Life......... <br />Can be fun? <br /> <br />Can no more <br />Be done........... <br />For such dire <br />Deprivation?<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deprived-6/
