Today, the growing economic and social pressures in our country are putting millions of women, children and families at increased risk of abuse and neglect, especially when families are denied basic support services and economic opportunity.

To Those Who Concern
Migrant workers from developing Third World
Move to developed countries for all sorts of work
They may be professionals or just basic workers
Trying to fill their pockets a little much tighter.
Their employers hire them instead of their own country men
Because they are the cheaper and more hard working ones
They don't understand workers' right and things like that
And work and work and collect their wages intact
The wages basic workers get are quite pathetic and petty
It barely is enough for them to send money back to their families
But for professionals the sum is quite attractive indeed
They can save and send money back to their families in need
These remittent money, says the governments of Third World
Boost their GDPs and increase their economic power overall
But that money, if huge enough, can increase the demand of commodities and land
And raises the prices in those Third World countries of concern
This is a problem for those who are trapped inside
With no family members abroad and self-ability to flight
They work hopelessly and barely survive for less than a dollar a day
Until their minds are exhausted and their body slowly decay

Children's Care
'Worry not, we are safe and alive'
Thank god world has come to relive'
To the expectation and to rescue the children
World over for nourishment and care even
Millions of children live without proper food
That basic need was not estimated or understood
Some of the parts in world still lack preliminary care
Yet many areas have been provided with cover and perform better
Many quarters claim children as an asset and future
For the countries and world at large for sure
They are the custodians and backbone life line
We expect them to take on with the task left behind
Some of the countries lack means and sources
They have no back up and solid economic base
As result, many areas go under famine belt
Basis need is understood well and genuinely felt
The birth rate is improving but not at satisfactory level
We have yet to come up fairly even with that of medical
Lot of basic drugs is to be provided free to needy
Many countries are not equipped well to cope with or are ready
Overall improvement is noticed in many countries
Lots of centers have come up with the help of missionaries
Many more organizations are stepping in with challenges
The children front is now well organized and managed
As the garden may have different kind of flowers
Not all the flowers may blossom after rainy showers
Yet we have sacred duty to see that they come up naturally
Their death ratio is reduced and should not go up unexpectedly
Let us celebrate children day as an important event
Any country may want or need overall improvement
Whether in the field of health, wealth or economic progress
The fate of the country may be reflected on children's face
