PEOPLE MISSING

SELAMAT MENJALANI IBADAH PUASA
courtesy www.nurinjazlin.blogspot.com
So many people missing
So many children gone too
How low must we go?

The cries of parents
Of loved ones disappear
Calling for help
Not many come to lend
Every one is busy
Looking after his own turf
Leaving the rest to others
This is where the predators hit
The unwary and the innocent

Sometimes it is the carelessness of parents
Leave the children running about
Believing the place is truly safe
They forget embrace in their own affairs

Take the case in hypermarkets
Children walk without adult in tow
Browsing on rows of goods
Parents don’t know where they go

It is still happening
In our society
So many crimes on the rise
Yet the adults and parents
Never want to take care

I pray nothing is happening
To the child missing 28 days
I don’t want to read a report
Like today about a child dead
Stuffed in a blue sports bag
And dumped in nearby office
This wasn’t a civilized way
It is a sick mind on the prowl

On this holy fasting month
I pray she is released unharmed
Back to her parents torturing their souls
Knowing every second makes so much difference

May Allah grant the wish we pray
Amen
