1st Verse:

 

If you really love children

then how can you believe

only some should be happy

while other kids should grieve?

 

That some kids should have sickness

‘cause they can’t afford health?

That some children should go without

while some have all the wealth?

 

Chorus:

 

Think of all the kids this Christmas

who think they’ve been bad

‘cause some kids get everything

when nothings all they’ve had.

 

Some might think it communist

this child equality

but loving little children

is all it is to me.

 

 

2nd Verse:

 

If you really love children

and not just those of your own

is the cruelty of poverty

something you should condone?

 

Give them the same education

give them all equal health care

don’t accept their deprivation

because it’s really not fair.

 

Chorus:

 

Think of all the kids this Christmas

who think they’ve been bad

‘cause some kids get everything

when nothings all they’ve had.

 

Some might think it communist

this child equality

but loving little children

is all it is to me.

Good and thoughtful song, Well-wisher. It's a tragedy such things exist today. I think we all need to step and take part in making someone's life a little less painful.

Thanks, Celticman.

What makes the cruelty all the more intolerable however, is the yearly pretence of rich people to love all the children of the world equally whilst supporting a system that denies them an equal quality of life. Unconciously, they're making Sophies Choice; saying that one child deserves better than the other; that once child IS better than the other; that one child should be happy while the other should suffer. They may as well be choosing, like Sophie, which child lives and which child dies.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Thanks, Rich.

But I think that the entire system needs to change and also that people have to stop seeing Child Poverty as natural and start seeing it as a form of abuse.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

yep, whilst millions of adults are condemned to benefit and work poverty, millions more children join them. Merry Christmas humbug indeed.
