What's The Value Of Life? Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Family life has become nearly non-existent in our time.
Children often are left to their own devices and never having been taught morals or values, they are running wild.
No one seems to care as they work, earn money, and buy things.
Our world has become so materialistic that human life no longer has any value.
Abortions are part of this new materialistic world of ours - killing babies so they can keep their freedom and buy things.
Looking around, I can't understand the waste.
People are looking for ways to spend their money on things - and right out in front of the stores they're shopping in, are people who don't even have food, clothes or a home.
What is wrong with our society?
Where are the values we were taught as children?
We've failed to teach our own children the value of human life.
Just use your eyes and really look at what we've done to our society -
our children.
We are to blame - no one else.
