Unwanted Help
When disaster hits the land
And the people of the world offer a hand
When some countries are repressed
And their civilians are stressed
What gives the dictators the right
To be the oppressor and cause strife
Can they not see the human plight
Deny, deny making light
Of the situation on hand
The suffering of their fellow man
Cutting aide for the common folk
Afraid of help from the other bloke
This just seems so wrong
How other countries get things done
To deny a helping hand
When on the edge of disaster they stand.
