When the Children Cry
When The Children Cry - (Song Lyrics)
Little child
cry your crying eyes
how can I explain
the fear you feel inside
cause you were born
into this evil world
where man is killing man
and no one knows just why
what we have become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again
when the children cry
let them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins
little child
you must show the way
to a better day
for all the young
cause you were born
for all the world to see
that we all can live
with love and peace
no more presidents
and all the wars will end
one united world
under god
when the children cry
let them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins
what we have become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again
no more presidents
and all the wars will end
one united world
under god
when the children cry
let them know we tried
when the children fight
let them know it ain't right
when the children pray
let them know the way
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins
When the Children Cry

Poverty: Children suffered more than anyone
The number
a) 30 vs 6,000,000,000 vs 1
"More than 30 per cent of children in developing countries – about 600 million – live on less than US $1 a day."
b) 3.6 vs 5
"Every 3.6 seconds one person dies of starvation. Usually it is a child under the age of 5."
c) 100,000,000
"One than 1 billion children are severely deprived
of at least one of the essential goods and services they require to
survive, grow and develop."
d) 13,000,000 vs 17 vs 39
"Nearly 13 million children in the
United States—17% of all children—live in families with incomes below
the federal poverty level. Research shows that, on average, families
need an income of about twice that level to cover basic expenses. Using
this standard, 39% of children live in low-income families."
e) 23,650,000
"At the end of 2007, China had 23.65 million Children living below the poverty line."
Facts
Poverty hits children hardest. Most of the people living in poverty
are children. Poverty denies children their rights. It weakens a
child's protective environment, as much abuse and exploitation of
children is linked to widespread and deeply entrenched poverty. It
blights their lives with ill health, malnutrition, and impaired physical
and mental development. It saps their energy and undermines their
confidence in the future. No society has ever seen a broad-based
reduction in poverty without major and sustained investments in the
rights of its people to health, nutrition and basic education.
143 million children under five in the developing world continue to
suffer from inadequate nutrition. The highest numbers are in south Asia,
where over half the under-fives (54%) were underweight in 1990, but
there is progress in this region, with the proportion falling to 46% by
2006. Asia, the second poorest part of the globe, has seen a drop from
41.1% living below the poverty line to 29.5% by 2004. However there have
been no such gains in sub-Saharan Africa. If progress continues to be
this slow and patchy, the 2015 target will be missed by a margin of 30
million children.
God be with you always. Amen...
