Does Anyone Care

Does anyone care? Maintaining peace; a peaceful existence on Earth is on almost everybody's prayer. Children; Pure and innocent, Many fragile With agile minds Broken by bullies. Those children hurry past Hiding their feelings. They sit in silence, Some commit suicide. Does anyone care? Our seniors in nursing home Isolated, wait for the rest of their lives. They sit in silence And rock in their chair Wishing for someone to care; Where are the loved ones? Family are too busy with their own lives. Does anyone care? So many veterans, Brave men and women That fought for our country. Many homeless, Struggling with hunger or illness, And no one cares. Immigrants veterans Promised citizenship In United States If they fought for our country; Our government has forbidden Them from setting foot in the nation A country they risked their lives to defend. Our government has forsaken them. Does anyone care? There is a fear in every nation Just a breath away Creating disorder, Crippling human-beings Driving them into quarantine and insanity. Will there be a cure? Does anyone care? To kneel down and pray For everyone to care. Does anyone care? 3/20/2020 Commentary Deported veterans fought for this country.
