Faith, Hope and Charity

In watching the teli reporting the evening news I got an ache in my belly and a sudden case of the blues So much insufferable pain that my heart couldn't stand to bear it Too much emotion to feign as the sadness just continues to emit War seems to be everywhere and the same with starvation There, there and there, pretty much in every single nation Yet we complain about our day and the horrible traffic Take that time to pray because I haven't even mentioned the sick And each day this horror show airs and every day is a new episode Seems as though no one really cares as our own sensitivities tend to erode Just a simple drink of clean water or even a slice or two of bread This whole world seems out of order as we continue making the bed Just being able to reach out and hand them that drink of water Say, "I'm with you in your bout" and it only cost less than a quarter Yes we are so quick to complain and so many do have reason But think how the World would gain during this the giving season
