A Cry For Help

This was the hit heard all over the world It could have went another way but chose to come ours It’s fury was very mighty and we were at it’s mercy Watching the news day in and day out on everything going on All the people with no homes, jobs, clothes or food Nothing to wash down the taste of fear in their mouths All of them thinking what will happen to us now Where will we go for shelter People still searching for loved ones Wishing and praying there is, still hope out there in America Yet it seems we are getting no help This is not how it should be This is not the America we fight for freedom for They say we are doing what we can but I still don’t see much getting done Who will finally open their arms Open their arms to help the ones who need it so badly How can you just turn your head and not feel the pain For us who this did not happen to we should feel very lucky to have what we do Now if most could just understand what it’s like to have nothing To have everything you worked for gone with a blink of an eye How can we rush to foreign aid but can not help our fellow Americans
