Analysis of Sacrilege
A child is sacred
This is quite simply true
Yet this country I live in
Doesn’t have a clue
The children whose bloodlines
Are descendant from these lands
They get treated like they’re lesser
Ripped out of their loved one’s hands
A child needs their family
This is quite simply true
Families that are struggling
Love their children too
The trauma that they endure
From sources so very numerous
This has to be changed
The fact that they are given less
A child belongs with their family
This is quite simply true
Days and weeks and months on end
They have to make do
They have to make do with separation
Or with lessened education
With less access to medication
We have to stop this, pay reparations
We have to stop this
Or young blood’s in our hands
If we’re truly people
We will need to take a stand
Every child is sacred
