CIAO POET: I like this posting in that it expresses your concern for people other than yourself. If our world had more people in it like you...it would have less people in it like the ones we are talking about here. Here's hoping that your posting here will prompt other people to think, be, and act like you. You are an extremely intelligent person. Thank you for sharing. You are appreciated. God bless you. CIAO, my friend. Cordially: rhonnie69.

The numbers are staggering ..children are suffering and dying every minute while others have so much , too much.

Food is thrown away to keep market prices up while children under five are dying of hunger ..that's discusting.

Children are being used as sex objects ..euaropeans , Americans go to asian countries to have fun .

Children are being used as organ donors for the rich. (I need to write about that ).

I'm not any better then the others Rhonnie..

Its not right that the media wastes time talk about empty people like Paris Hilton, Kardashian (I don't know how to spell her name) while innocent children are dying in complete silence.

Thanks for the review and Rhonnie stop using all your weekly stars on me...I do appreciate the encouragement but you have other fans you should be considering too. (smile)

Thank you for the positive review ..

I don't think its right that people think and "care " more about rich /selfish people ratger than innocent children dying in silence ..

This ongoing tradgedy should be on the media to create awareness...

We "care " and show more interest about people in the spotlight than children dying of hunger ..

There is not enough love in this world .

Excellent

Your poem was very chilling, but accurate! In many of those countries the parents have either died or abandon the kids. Babies being taken care of by brothers or sisters and they are barely old enough to take care of themselves!

Yes the numbers are staggering and to think that this is an ongoing tragedy yet nothing much is said about it as if it was not something we should care about ..

We have so much , too much but we are often complaining..

.we should instead be counting our blessings we have food , shelter and a family we can count on.


Thanks for reviewing my poem.
