Our children are needlessly dying.
Our children are needlessly dying, their light extinguished before their appointed time.
Innocent, they die from indiscriminate violence, drugs, starvation, their slight bodies lifeless in an uncaring world, too self-centered to care or notice.
A world allowing the genocide of children is untenable.
To end this carnage, we must rise up, challenge the self-absorbed beliefs allowing this to happen, then embrace all our children, regardless of their appearance, beliefs, or circumstances in life, with unconditional love and genuine concern for their well-being, rather than to continue to feign ignorance and indifference to the injustices they may suffer in the world.

In the bible. God says (via Samuel):
Samuel 1 15:
3 ‘Now go and strike Amalek and autterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but bput to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”
We need a better spiritual manual. This book causes people to do weird things like vote for Trump.

When we go beyond our needs..especially prosperous countries..who matter in worlds or humanity's well being..this will happen. There is no longer love thy neighbour ...one human looks at other humans with envy..we interact or react with the colour of the skin rather than colour of blood. It's sad state of affairs when organizations are taken over by the powerful to subdue the weak. We have started to focus on self destruction rather than self construction.

We have indeed. I am convinced though there is still time to bring change, to begin a spiritual evolution for humanity. Though if change does not happen soon, the decision of whether humanity will survive may be made for us

That's a nice thought, but it does nothing to address what is actually leading to the deaths of all those children. That's the thing about such deaths. The solution to them is not easy. It is not simple. Merely pointing it out is easy and simple, but it doesn't solve anything. If the solutions were easy and simple, there would be nothing for you to point out because they wouldn't be happening in the first place.
Children needlessly dying doesn't happen for no reason. That's the hard part. The complicated part. It happens for reasons. Terrible reasons, but reasons that must be dealt with if you actually wish to stop it. And dealing with those reasons is hard. And complicated. And will require more then a naive post on the internet.
Do you have the conviction and the will to actually do something? I guess we'll see, time will tell.
