the missing children

The innocent children

Playing in the park

With greens around them

Listening to the cry of laughter

Parents tend to doze away

Thinking in the public surrounding

Many eyes will watch

They have their small gathering

Sharing tales and experiences

By the time the parents remember

The quiet park no cry of laughter

They begin to look around panic comes to mind

Frantic searches for the missing ones

The park becomes a hive of activities

The strangers will lend support and time

The little missing ones long time gone

In the shopping malls

The familiar scenes shoot

The children are left to walk freely

The parents busy window shopping

In the public traffic many eyes will watch

In the sea of human faces and bodies

The children will be clouded unrecognizable

In this time of a situation

The parents begin to get panic

The eyes will scout for the children

The strangers will stop and help be given

By then the children are long gone

Do the parents learn?

The reports of missing children

The parents shouldn't put their guards down

The missing children can happen any time

There is no way the children would be allowed alone

To explore by themselves in the park or mall
