It's Tragic!

Write this poem:

"The greatest tragedy is –––––––––"


A child is left alone
scared, hungry.
You look at her and wonder how
this can be.  You bemoan–
she looks young,
practicing her keep-away frown.

Amidst group of others–
tired, thin.
Where can these children's parents be,
ill, jailed, single mothers
with no kin?
Weather will grow wintry.

Will they be forced indoors,
a shelter?
Sometimes a hellish place, unclean.
They need so much more–
core, center, 
family.  Think what that could mean.
