For children who have toiled and strived Where school houses are filled with knowledge and zest And their futures are kept alive
Their doors are open to those seeking more
A chance to learn and to compare A way to break old patterns of thought And develop skills they can share
A widening of horizons, far and near
And growth in all that they can be Renders young men and women empowered With a future for all to see
No longer do beggars pass, begging for scraps
And young girls sold for slave labour Education will show them a much brighter road And give them the strength to falter
A chance to explore new things, new ideas
Set a young course for the future So strive for a world full of educated minds Universal Primary Education the ultimate suture! POEM ABOUT ERADICATING EXTREME POVERTY AND HUNGER By: Hanz Daniel P. David
Defeating poverty is a mission you must start
To ensure every person a bellyful of art We must share what we have no matter how small An empty stomach we won't ever let fall
Poverty is found in so many a place
It's a sad truth that puts a smile on the face Righteous people who strive to make the earth fair Will help bring people out of the despair
Give them hope and provide a meal or two
So that the poor will know what to do With half of the world living below the line We must all join forces to eradicate this grime
No child should be hungry or without a home
As one, we can make sure, no child would ever roam It's a daunting challenge but we can make that chance That all will have food, water and a handsome glance
For years so long have been the plight
It's time to put an end to it By working united, this mission we can ignite To eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger. POEM ABOUT REDUCING CHILD MORTALITY By: David Keith P. Oraño
Child mortality rates are a tragic sight
Reducing their pain is meant to be right So take action now and make it our plight To ensure their lives are so bright
Lend a helping hand, show some energy
Focus on young souls, let them be free To delvelope fully, to live and to be Towards reducing child mortality
As a family, as individuals too
Focusing on health, creating hope anew For vulnerable children who are the youth That's the answer if we're talkin' truth
Investments in care makes sense to me
It's the only way to let them be The future of our world must be set free By reducing child mortality
If everyone joins together, it can be done
A world where each child can reach 21 Let us work hard to reduce this sad story Of children gone soon before their glory
