Have You Ever Thought,,,

Have you ever thought...

Have you ever thought
About the child
In class
That sits alone
Everyday
While everyone teases him.

Have you ever thought
About the warriors
In new barren lands
Praying 
To be saved.

Have you ever thought
About the people
Starving 
With their young
Watching them die
As they, as well,
Watch their own parish
Slowly.

Have you ever thought
Maybe the grass is greener
Somewhere else.

Have you ever thought
That you have something
Extraordinary to live for
Without knowing.
