Diana's Dream
October 10, 2013
Diana had a dream, a great campaign:
Improve our children’s lives, society.
Yet apathy has caused them so much pain,
created fear, instilled anxiety.
Their rights we cast aside, scoff in disdain,
three P’s turned down in favour of the four.
We trample them for monetary gain—
but kids are not a demographic score.
Protection scarred by taunts of “aberration”
Provision starved by pictures of perfection
Participation hinged on ratification
but break the mask, and face social rejection.
So let’s instead invest in humankind,
and change our world before we’re out of time.
