I Hear The Children Crying

Sexual Trafficking in Los Angeles

I hear the children crying:
Hungry in their need,
I hear the churches praying:
Holding to their Creed,
I hear the Politicians:
Deftly promising to Try…
Meanwhile,
The Hell continues:
Consuming lives at will:
Predators hunting freely,
While we shield our ears:
Occupied with “other things,”
I hear the children crying:
A sound I used to block —
Afraid to see the horror:
Afraid I’d lose my mind,
But now I know the numbers:
An undeniable catastrophe,
Enough…
. ……….to…
. ……………say:
Enough,
Enough,
Enough,
#NoMore.
