We say:
This coffee is too sweet; it’s bad for our health
I want a BIGGER bed; this ones just a single
I wish I had those shoes; these are so out of fashion
I don’t want to get a needle; it hurts
I wanted it to be black, not red!
Geeze can’t you give me anything I want?!
All I got was, an ipod, clothes, a playstation,
a teddy bear, a CD, books, money…….
Meanwhile:
The little boy who has bad health
Is dying.
He doesn’t have a sweet cup coffee
Or a comfy bed to sleep
Not even one pair of shoes.
He’s dying
He is dead.
And we are
Still. Not. Satisfied.

This poem has a strong message, no doubt.
The everyday words make the impact of this poem even harder.
Anyway, great write!
