Where have all the children gone? A poem

Check out Talullah’s original poem, Where have all the children gone?

911 phone calls

S.O.S numbers

All hallways empty

One swaying locker

Were have all the children gone…..

Each bedroom empty

No child in sight

Were did they did they go?

All slipping into the night

Where have all the children gone?

But wait there they are,

Their skin cold as ice

Lighting on the ground like weak

Little mice

That’s were the children

Have gone
