Justice for youths (Haiku Horizons)

child abuse
rape, violence, incest,
reduced sentence!
 
children`s rights
we smugly shout“Youth Justice”
we whisper, “denied”
 
children crying
bellies empty, hurting
landfills of waste
 
child soldiers
fighting wars of their fathers
lost childhood
 
lost childhood
never reaching puberty
youths’ injustice
 
youths’ injustice
adults’ failing our young
justice for youths - FAILED
