A silent Voice that can be heard

Should another child cry,
before you realise, is in pain.
should Africa plea and shout,
before help is attained.

Should a belly of a child burst
before you realise its empty
should a child die from thirst
before you realise the drought.

Silent cry is all they cry,
tears have dried from their eyes
as their knees begging please.
even the blind, them can see
even the deaf, their cry they hear
even the dumb, have realise.

but why do you pretend?
why do you ignore the call,
of the silent voice than can be heard?

    this is such a beautiful poem.
    so raw and filled with such emotion.
    it is clear to the reader you have put a lot of thought into this poem.
    it has such a strong message and really leaves the reader speechless.
    excellent work,

    good

    You did a good job with this, I saw a few words that you didn't misspelled, that you might should check out on a word corrector or something. Other than that awesome job, keep up the good writing!

    ...

    If I sounded racist at ALL, IN NO WAY did i mean it like that, Religiously, we should help out africa, we should give out our prayers, but at the same time, see my other comment.

    However, whats done is done, so i believe YES, help them out.

    someone called me racist, and that is why i am making this other comment.

      you didn't sound racist.
      you sounded like a stupid child who had no clue what they were talking about.

      its ok. i complete understand people have different perspective concerning the poverty in Africa.. I'm glad though that you are honest.. prayers are more important that physical needs.. but what what you should think about is .. while we pray should we wait and watch them die?

    honestly, and politically, this is all THEIR OWN FAULT, if they didnt bitch and complain about being "free" from Britian and france, then they would of recieved economic help from the main nation, Great Britian and France!

    besides the political and Historical part, no, no tears from my eyes,

    still nice poem
