Child Trafficking Poem by DOMINIC K V

National Crime Records Bureau's
distressing, shocking revelation:
A child just disappear overnight
every eight minutes!
Children taken from their homes
and sold in markets
just like cows or goats!
Sold for bonded labour!
Amputated, blinded,
defaced with acid for begging!
Sexual exploitation
from the tender age of five!
Young girls made sex slaves
and forced prostitution!
Organs of children sold
and earn thousands!
Kidnapped children and
those sold by their parents!
Abject poverty compels parents
to leave their darlings
with bleeding hearts
and shaking hands!
Traffickers beguile them
with hollow promises
Believe their kids are driven
to secure happy homes
Forty thousand children
abducted in India every year!
Twelve thousand women
and fifty thousand children
trafficked for sex trade from
neighbouring countries every year!
India bears three lakh child beggars!
Forty four thousand children
fall into gangs' clutches every year!
How can man be cruel like this!
Non-human beings always
love their offsprings and
protect them from all dangers
Human being refined being
proves often debased being!
