UNWANTED CHILDREN

Are children truly "Acts of God",
When they're unloved, unwanted toys;
Oft fathered by the merest clod,
A hungry, crying bit of noise.

With contraception frowned upon,
Abortion seen as Murder One;
Teenagers won't protection don,
So future planning is undone.

Condemned to lives of poverty,
Unskilled, unlearned, and unloved too;
Into the gutters oft they flee,
Though all the vices still pursue.

There is no easy remedy,
The problem is full ages long;
The causes none together see,
So we perpetuate the wrong.
