Help

You can scream and yell
Text or call  911
Please go run and tell
Everybody should try to assist someone
This Is not my problem, Its our problem
So please help me solve them
So many people in trouble in the world out there
But no one wants to help no one seems to care
That is because so many are living in fear
They don’t want to see or they don’t want to hear
No more heroes 
No more true leaders to follow
Every man for himself, everyone is solo
Rescue me, help me please don’t go 
I wish I could help you but I too do feel down
What help is there for men, women and children in towns
Devastated by man's greed and by highly efficient tools of exploitation and destruction
There is political conflict, racial, violence, strife or the economic greed of plundering industrial 
nations 
Now days the pain of neglect is felt
We all need to give that extra hand and just help

A very good write, It's true society is becoming more solo, I work but tend to fly solo Nowadays people carry knives ect, An act of kindness can often lead to getting injured yourself. I helped someone one time and they turned on me and my kids, came across nice then was like psycho. I didn't know them but tired to help anyway. That was just one but IV had other situations as well. IV kept myself to my self since covid and only just started going back to church. It's not so safe nowadays sadly.

Yeah, bro. "Everyone is solo," I don't know where I lost it, but I don't feel like being a hero anymore. When did we become so divided?
