Of Poetry and Links


This poem was shared with Restore Innocence by a young girl named Taylor. They say of Taylor, "She still has hope. Let us keep fighting so we can see that hope turned into love."
 




Caught in Traffick...
 
Does anyone hear them?
Does anyone see them?
The broken hearts,
the crushed spirits.
They cry out in the day
and weep at night.
They are lonely;
they are confused.
All hope is gone,
all joy is lost.
Only despair,
only helplessness.
They stop fighting,
they stop dreaming.
They feel rejected,
they feel used.
Does anyone understand?
Does anyone know?
The hurt they feel?
The pain they suffer?
They pray and plead to an
unknown God for a rescue.
They are afraid,
they are young.
All future is forgotten,
all childhood is taken.
Will they ever be healed?
They hunger and thirst
for real love.
They feel alone,
they feel invisible.
Can’t we hear them?
Can’t we see them?
Let our hearts break for them.
Let us cry out to God
and weep for them.
For they are lonely,
they are confused.
Let us hope for them
and pray for their joy to be restored.
Let us not despair or feel helpless.
Let us fight for them.
Let us dream for them
For they are rejected,
they are used.
Do we understand?
Do we know?
Let us hurt for them,
let us feel their pain.
Let us pray and plead
to the God we know for a rescue.
For they are afraid,
they are young.
Let us remember them
And pray for God
to restore their childhood.
Let us intercede for their freedom
and battle for their healing.
Let us cry to God to give them real love
For they are lonely, they are invisible.
WE MUST HEAR!
WE MUST SEE!
WE MUST KNOW!
WE MUST UNDERSTAND!
For we are God’s people
And He’s calling for us to know
For us to show the broken hearts
That there is HOPE
That there is LOVE.
