Protect the Kids

Synopsis: Children are the future residents of this planet. If we don't protect them during their most formative years, who will?
We're obligated to take care of these kids on their pursuit
To dominate the future world; they're the recruits
We gotta tolerate since they never asked to be introduced
They'll be here when we're gone; that's called following suit
News shows people robbing kids of an innocence so potent
Rodents not realizing they're killing future critical components
Failure to notice the little ones makes you an opponent
Create a better world by taking care of kids in this moment
It's rattling to see happenings of child abuse dabbling
I got credentials to speak on this; once, I was battling
It's not that I'm looking for perfection, but on the other hand
I'm looking through the glass like Alice in Wonderland
Some can reframe their vision; see through a child's lens
Far-sighted is fine, but squinting might cause a mild cleanse
Look hard enough in the mirror to eventually break the glass
Hindsight is 20/20 after kids grow; clarity after time passed
