Few children still have the chance to be innocent. They have been made to look like miniature adults, taught to act adult, and abused because of it.
We sympathize with abused children and say that is the way the world is, what can we do? It is an easy loophole that lets us go on our way - wishing things were different but doing nothing to make it so. This is why we have so many throwaway children. We have cut loose from our responsibility to pray.
Where did we go wrong? We made children competive and gave them nothing for inner strength. We curled their hair and twisted their minds. They are going to learn it somewhere - so why not from us? Sadly, we haven't given them what they need because we don't have it ourselves.
Can it be that you and your children will hear that eternal song without a stricken heart?
