Nothing to eat,
only hungry breath,
too shallow to catch.
Children in want,
is not an issue,
children are always in want.
We need children
not to be in need,
desperately.
The other side of the world,
Is not that far,
for us.
But it is for them,
it's an impossible feat for them
to come here.
Or for here to come to there,
so let's just give them a
flavour.
A shoebox.
Children keep our minds at rest:
the next world is in good hands.
We need children in need.
Nothing to eat,
only hungry breath,
too shallow to catch.
We need children in need.

I wrote this in a couple of minutes so it's nowhere near finished: just some ideas. I want to shorten it and give the words a different structure.
