Children Of The Night Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Children Of The Night

Rating: 5.0


Who hears the screams
of the children of the night
Who pays the price
For their plight

A life full of lies
To keep
Their nightmares quiet

Who will help
The children
Before it's too late

Who hears
Their whispered cries
As they become adults
and heroin becomes their light

Who hears the screams
of the children of the night

nice write sir, simple yet great interpretation of how an innocent loses the light given by god in the world, and how they have to resort to ill-manners because no one's there to catch them in their arms.

Many of these children live around 42nd. Street in New York City. I see them every time I drove by. I wonder about them too. We, the poets, truly care. Keep on writing my friend. We both understand. You and I are luck. Keep up the good work and stay positive.

very sad effect of drug abuse and my heart goes to all children of the world whose parents are drug addicts while the government is very irresponsible to garner votes! ! !

I've taken time to think and ponder on this masterpiece. I think you just asked the deep question of life: who hears the screams of the children of the night? . Thanks boss
