In light of today's tragic events I thought this, my first poem, fit the emotion of the night.



A Child's Chaos by Dave Endicott



In the midst of this chaos

Lies the lonely heart of a searching child,

Whose whole life is all but lost.

A life with so many questions and very little reason



Where have we gone wrong?

Is it the parents? Is it the school?

Is it the child? Is it society?

Does it matter who it is?

The question to be asked is,

"How can I help?"



A young boy that has a house

But the reality is he is homeless.

He feels the need to steal.

A life with no perceived value, only objects to take.



Where have we gone wrong?

Is it the divorce? Is it intelligence?

Is it "the system"? Is it our materialism?

Does it matter what it is?

The questions to be asked is,

"How can I help?"







A young girl who has no self-worth,

She feels so ugly and unloved.

She knows she is different.

A life with nothing in common with peers.



Where have we gone wrong?

Is it the television? Is it the magazines?

Is it her classmates? Is it me?

Does it matter who it is?

The questions to be asked is,

"How can I help?"



A class full of children,

Some are friends, some are strangers.

Each one with gifts, each one with faults.

A life filled with children who grow up too soon.



Have we really gone wrong?

Is it the gifts? Is it the faults?

Is it the child? Is it the adult?

Does it really matter?

HOW CAN I HELP?



In the midst of this chaos

Lies a heart full of love

A child searching for acceptance.

A life with so many questions and all the reason
For me to help....a child.
