Hostages

People have hopes and plans

 That they want to be

They are often

 Very driven

To make these

 Come true

Also they often have

 Children they take along

Children who rarely

 Have any say

In how their life’s

 Will be

The hopes and dreams

 Of the child

Will never have

 A chance

Adult plan and work

 Their dreams to have

But the children

 Are not asked

For children are simply

  Luggage to take along

but for us 

we must take care of this luggage

all the way to the next port
