Don't Look Away: A Child Abuse Awareness Video

*I happened to stumble upon this vide on youtube, was deeply touched, and decides to post it here for the benefits of all the children of the world, particularly those who were abused and felt unloved. I encourage those who felt the same way to also highlight this video in their blogs to spread the message of love to those innocent victims. And those adults that abuse children to please stop it. 



**For The Children**

For all the children who've lost their innocence...
Because of unthinkable cruelty and ignorance.

For all the little ones who cannot sleep...
Because of the horrible secrets they have to keep.

For all the ones who find it hard to eat...
When their angel face has been broken and beat.

For the tears that fall steadily when nobody sees...
And the child in the corner hugging her knees.

For the infants who are beaten before they can talk.
For the babies who know pain before they can walk.

For all the smiles that have been stolen away...
For all the children who are afraid to play.

For the adults who carry around their childhood bruises...
And the many abusers with their heartless excuses.

For anyone who acts out to suppress the grief.
For the ones who damage themselves to find relief.

For the ones who only want love and receive hate.
For the ones who suffer when the hour is late.

For every punch, bite, or burn...
And everytime a child "has to learn..."

For the sparkle of hope in a child's bruised eye...
When he looks up at the sky and feels he can fly.

For every hour, for every lie...
For every heartfelt plead or cry...

For all the blind eyes that pass them by...
For every young heart that has to die...

I pray for the pain to be forever a forgotten nightmare.
I pray that every child can be safe, and without a care.
I hope you find courage through everything life brings you...
And I mourn those who've died before the world even knew.

There is no amount that can add up to what these lives are worth...
May God condemn the ones who injure his angels on Earth.

People condemn themselves whenever they hurt others or anything. Most all the insanity in society today comes from people giving responsibility for what they do to God.

God's greatest gift to us is free will, which we can use to make "good" be "bad" and vice versa. Unfortunately, mostly because of our extremely stressed out society, many people have zilch direct experience of the life force (God) and choose to make hurting and even killing (US wars) good.

But society has been blessed recently, which I choose to describe as the return of the Way and the Truth and the Light a.k.a. Jesus Christ and will soon be Heaven on Earth.

This is definitely a powerful video. I hope something is done to help these children and punish harshly those who commit abuses against them. I have also tried to increase awareness about child welfare in my blog, but I'm not sure I'm having a great impact since abuses and deaths among children in our country is still prevalent. Nevertheless, I will continue to do what I do to increase make people take action and protect these innocent angels.

I had to look away, because I'cant look at violent videos.

But I hope that every child can be safe.

It's important to write and talk about these things.

There are people, who also really take action.

Your words were sad and beautiful.

When I see this video, I remember that there is a song for a child from the Mike Learn to Rock: "The sleeping child".
Thanks for share.
You are lovely.

thank you for sharing this video, and the poem - very touching. we should take care of these little angels until they became mature, and the time for freedom to go on on their own.
