Save a Soul

Why give a flower worth fifty thousand bucks to the dead, when it can get five thousand dying kids well fed. Why use a million bucks for fun to fly to france, when it can ofset the overhead of the oppressed and orphans. Why have a house on a hill or a sky scrapper on the sea, when the future engineer cannot pay his school fee. Why garnish your body with golden garments, when a medical doctor in the making daily laments. Hey, those classy and colourful cars cannot fit into your casket, your buildings will say goodbye when you kick the bucket. What will live after you are the lives you have truly touched; what will count in afterlife are those you cared for or crushed. Give a hope to the hopeless and a hand to the helpless, that little change can change the chances of the cheerless; our words, water, will, wealth and whatever we have, can save the souls that stink, stumble, and starve.
