</>Billions of people are abused in some way each and every day <br /> <br />When are we gonna learn? <br /> <br />That it’s not OK to burn a child because they cry or wet their pants; <br /> <br />That saying hurtful or derogatory remarks leaves scars; <br /> <br />That it’s not ok to hit when we’re angry, hurt or things aren’t going our way; <br /> <br />That people are not objects or possessions that we own; <br /> <br />When are we gonna learn? <br /> <br />That sex with a child is not ok or that sex without consent is a crime, <br /> <br />That loving a person of the same gender is not wrong, nor <br /> <br />Does it matter what color the skin is. <br /> <br />When are we gonna learn? <br /> <br />That people need our Love, Support and Encouragement <br /> <br />When are we Gonna Learn?<br /><br />Linda Franklin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-are-we-gonna-learn/
