Children are NOT our future

I'm in the middle of writing a speech that I'll be giving to a PTA event in Mesquite, TX this February. And I'm realizing that I may not be as good at this as I had once believed. The purpose of my speech is to challenge the members of this PTA group to become active advocates for children. I've written 9 pages...over 3,400 words. And it's boring. Right now, the title is "Children are NOT our future." The premise is that we need to start thinking about how important children are today...not for tomorrow. Yeah. Titillating isn't it? Snore. Suggestions appreciated.
