Children Poem by Josehf Murchison

Children

Rating: 5.0

The greatest gift we give the future is our children.
We pay police to aid in the enforcement of our laws.
Not to shoot our children or us by accident.
Any fool can do that for free.

We train police to do a job and we arm them to protect us,
not to shoot us by mistake or to imprison the innocent.
And yet they do.

If they continue to commit these crimes against the people,
maybe it is time to reconsider hiring them.
