Poem

A simple plank of wood
Spanning a stagnant putrid sewer
Deep under ground and out of sight
But the plank provides a bed
For a desperate poor soul
To hide in fear for the night. 

And they claim the western world is civilized
But have they seen the fear and sadness in their eyes.

A man in an aeroplane drops bombs
Upon innocent children in school
If only the pilot could see their tiny faces
And the horror tears and primal screams
Of a berived grieving mums. 

And they claim the western world is civilized
But have they seen the fear and sadness in their eyes.

Food production in the USA has risen by twenty four percent
They have more than they need
But still 750 million children worldwide go to bed hungry every night 
And so many die before the morning light
We have food mountains stored in Europe
That are left to rot away
And decay.

And they claim the western world is civilized
But have they seen the fear and sadness in their eyes.

Here in the UK 
An estimated two hundred old people freeze to death
Fearful of turning the heating on
It's a case of eat or heat for many
Families today
But the government don't care
And sadly turn away.

And they claim the western world is civilized
But have they seen the fear and sadness in their eyes.?

As I sit here writing it's so peaceful a nightingale is singing in a tree
You'd think such things can't be happening
They seem a million miles away from me
But it's sad to say
These things are happening somewhere
Everyday.
