Rhetoric questions fill the child's day and I as a child also feeling the pain she is feeling I just ask myself why?

Why should we as children receive such treatment? Why should we suffer in such an early age because of uncle so and so 's uncontrollable urge.

Linda sits hopelessly in her uncle john's house watching the sun as it sets and tears flowing down her once so called soft baby cheeks which are now almost wrinkled like an old granny's as conflicting thoughts on what her uncle is going to do to him tonight filter her small, tinny mind…………
Yes!, some children are suffering and so tell me now who should we tell our problems as uncles are now our worst enemies ever…..

Why should we suffer children?
Child abuse should stop and should stop right now …..
But how really can it stop when abusers are arrested today and released tomorrow and tell me how I will face my uncle after getting him behind bars….

I guess its high time these criminals were given severe punished so as to stop this deadly factor child abuse

Scelo Dube

Pity the child whose life is endangered
A child whose bright future has been shattered
One whose rights have been disrespected
A child who is an abuse sufferer.

Fear has lingered in the restless soul
Her parents are now aliens from outer space
She cannot even close her eyes to pray
For she is afraid she could be the day's prey
God give her the strength to stand up for her rights

Tears flow down his eyes
So innocent is his face
As he looks into the heavens above
He waits patiently for God to take him
For he cannot bear the pain he is facing
'BUT', where are his rights
Where have they gone to
Nobody has an answer to that except he himself

Arise Arise children of the world
Say the words 'I EARN' to yourself
Earn your rights and be respected
Be an AIDS free generation
Let us say NO to abuse and YES to life
Say No to child labor
But yes to our own rights

Look out into the horizon and see what is there
A bright future is there
Let us stand up for our rights
Dance to the tune of 'I EARN'
A nd earn your respect and rights

Lord what has happened to our world?

Lord what has happened to our world?
Children are heard crying and
You wonder why.
Everyday the headlines "child 6 months raped"
What has really happened?

These Uncle Johns with posh cars
Have wrecked many innocent lives
They bribe children with love, which can
Be compared with a chewing gum because
It only lasts few weeks but bring long term problems such as the killer disease "aids"

A ten year old girl is seen cleaning a big
Mansion house if you ask why is she not
At school you will be amazed at the answer she will tell you which will knock you off your feet
She is the maid

Some children of her age are at school
But she is cleaning the house on the
Other hand she is overworked and underpaid
The owner of the house takes advantage of
The poverty of the girl and sexually harasses her
Who knows may be he is infected with the killing
Softly disease

Children stand up for your rights do not
Allow anyone them to use you, know your rights by heart do not allow anyone abuse "them"

IT'S A VERY GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL MY ORATORY READS "WHAT HAS THIS WORLD TURNED TO.

OH! HOW I CHERISH THOSE OLDEN DAYS WHEN FATHERS, MOTHERS, AUNTS AND UNCLES OF COURSE LOVED THEIR CHILDREN AND STOOD BY THEM ALL TIMES, YES THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF OUR FORE-FATHERS AND IF ONLY I WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME I WOULD VERY MUCH WISH IT COULD BE THEN.

CHILDREN ,YES US CHILDREN WE ARE NO LONGER GIVEN LOVE BY OUR ONE AND ONLY PARENTS .ALL WE GET IS CRUEL KINDNESS LADYS AND GETTLEMAN, SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY LOCKED UP IN THE HOUSE BECAUSE MUM AND DAD THINK THERE ARE PROTECTING THEIR BELOVED DAUGHTER FROM THE OUT SIDE WORLD ,TRULLY MY DEAR BROTHRS AND SISTERS HOW WILL I LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHILE I DON'T HAVE ANY CHANCE OF SHARING A WORD WITH THEM .

I THINK ITS HIGH TIME WE AS CHILDREN STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGTHS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

THANK-YOU.

There they sit,

There they sit,
Trying to think,
How they could escape the horror they are facing,
Dear Lord help the poor souls.

Why ?Who?How?
Why does it have to be them,
Don't they deserve to gain education?
Should not they be given a chance in life'

Who, who is it causing all this ,
All this terrible, pathetic mess.
Whoever.
Dear Lord help the poor soul.

How, how did all this happen?
Abuse, labour , minimum rights
Or less freedom of speech
Whatever.
Dear Lord help the poor souls

Don't you think it's about time
We took action about
RAPE and CHILD ABUSE.

Don't you think it's about time
Something was really done.
I doubt if anyone isn't really
Interested in this issue.

Children are raped day in day out
And abused.
And no one ever takes
Any considerations on this issue.

Innocent children die for no reason
And get AIDS for no certain reason.
You aren't even at least worried.

Do you know that your own child
Could be a victim of rape,
Could be having the deadly
Disease AIDS.
Don't "Nothing like that could happen to my child".

Therefore I have these words to you.
Think for yourself
Answer the question your self
Act on child abuse and rape
Before it's too late.
