3.Children Of God? [it's A Genuine Appeal To Abolish Child Labour] Poem by Abha Sharma

The opressive exploitation of children, in the work-field, is nefarious, if not outright ineffable! Your direct & precisioned stance & delivery is spot-on, and penned with poetic polish! Excellent Write...Enjoyable Read....And, Y O U, young lady, are a nascent breath of fresh, young poetic air...Keep that Pen Pumpin'! ~ FjR ~ ..2008..

it's indeed a very good idea to write a poem on topics which need attention...you are doing a great job...and i personally feel that messages can be delivered to the world in a better way and thats through poetry...not only because they enjoy reading but also because when they read it they can feel the emotion it conveys...This poem is an eye opener really...keep it up Abha! !

A thought-provoking work Abha. It's a shame that child labour is still rife throughout the world in this day and age. A very well written piece. Andrew

the poem clearly brings out your indignation and frusration about children who have to work. i had written poem with same title, but in a different tone.i am all for abolishing child labour and my heart too goes out for them, who have lost out on childhood. if we can bring about social awareness through our writings, perhaps some concrete solutions can be found, till then what?

a very strong poem.... it is hard to think that we have all of this stuff that is supposed to make life better, and then there are still kids who have a rough life and have to work hard, dangerous jobs.... when i grow up, i want to be a teacher, there is this organization called the rug mark foundation... they take kids out of factories and put them in school.... i think it is a really neat foundation and i want to be apart of it...... very good poem

true concern about cherubs................

wow! ! very nice.....i have written something like this but on war.......it is called ' when the adults go to war'.... read it when time permits

I feel as though I have been Branded again! Sometimes the buy-in to commodity is more weighted than the emaciated body of all of these children... keep Righting them one Peace at a Time.... aroha

Little children, little children, from your mothers arms i take i'll put you in my sweat shops, garments you will make no union to call on, no one to hear your plea you'll just swell my coffers, in this world of insanity!

I felt this was very strong writing becuase the poet identified what for me what I related to as the crucial aspects of the 'problem' - who are they? where are they going? we are dependent upon! how do we undo that dependency?
