It was on the news again today on the TV screen
I saw tears on their faces, why are people so mean
No roof over their heads and no food to eat
Families are starving, why is there no meat
Disease in every corner, there’s no where to lie
With no fresh water, their pain is making them cry
Their tiredness is so plain for us all to see
We all must do something, so please hear this plea
There’s plenty for everyone to go around if we share
But some people are so greedy, and it makes me despair
We can all do our part by making our voice heard
To let this keep happening is outrageous and absurd
Governments are as much to blame for letting it get so bad
Wasting money on themselves, not their country makes me mad
How can they stand by and watch their own people starve
Whilst they are out living the hi-life, I bet they have meat to carve
Its not just one country, many are compelled to take part
Ordinary folk caught up in war and poverty they didn’t start
From all corners of Africa, Iraq, and so many more
Men, Women and Children sleep on dirty muddy floors
So if you can spare a little, no matter how small it be
It will help to build up that much needed money tree
Please help make POVERTY HISTORY and end these deathly fears
No one should live like this or suffer such tears

Yes, I couldn't agree more, the people 'up top' there have some funny ideas about compassion...I don't think they give a s*** unless there's something in it for them, you make your point very clear Doe, of course I have been priviledged to listen to this on icompositions, and I would urge every reader to do so!
Once again, welcome to AP, I'm so glad you made the trip!!!

Thank you -Faces of Tears
Thank you John for your support again and guiding me here. The more people I can bring to the attention of the state of the World Poverty the more I hope I help. If I only save one child's life, I will at least have done something. Thank you again.

Welcome to AllPoetry!!!
Many televangelists preach to give to this country and that one, a part of their money scheme, and they ride in caddillacs and wear fivehundred dollar suits, and they aren't starving. It isn't right. Poverty is bad and so is war...
Welcome to AllPoetry! I hope you enjoy yourself on this site.
Blessed Be,

That is one problem I have with organized religion. They have literally hundreds
of billions in money and property and yet around 30 thousand children die each
and every day. How on God's green Earth can they say they are doing the Lord's work when they have the capital to end all the suffering today and just don't
or won't do it...
Yes indeed, we are all one and will rise or fall...together as a single unit
in the end.
