If They Cared

If they cared..

You’d be clothed in the finest clothes, not in worn out cloth filled with holes.

If they cared…

Your belly would be full of the best foods, not with poison that effects your moods.

If they cared…

They’d guard your heart with the purest word, not harsh sayings that have you stirred.

If they cared…

They’d be gentle with your body and touch it will the most gentle hands, not hurt you with their sharp metals and elastic bands.

If they cared…

They’d protect you from evil and rotten lands, not throw you in the garbage like poorly written plans.

If they cared…

You’d feel spoiled, happy and loved…
Not sad, hateful and mugged.

If they cared…

You’d feel a gentle touch, hear a soft word, and big hug. Not a hard slap, a split tongue, or a hard tug.

You’d know if they cared, because you’d feel loved, not shoved.
