Help

Each day being a luxury,able to switch on our t.v. sets
taking for granted to turn on the tap and being able to get
one of lifes simple natures,that could mature the dried soil
and it is a crying shame,to see the starving children boil.

Thousands desend each day,upon a makeshift clinic
why can`t governments shine light,instead of being cynics
one Dr to the weak and dying,can`t move,fly infested faces
what is wrong with the world,please help these places.

Personally speaking,and many more will feel
the guilt on overindulgance,when leaving half a meal
what a starving person would do,to step into your shoes
even though we think of it,we havn`t got a clue.

Tears came to my eyes reading your poem, Paul. Same thing happens when I see the pictures of starving children. If each of us would just donate the price of one meal, we could make a difference. There are many who overindulge thoughtlessly, but I clean my plate, meager as its offerings might be. Beautifully written. Love, Carolyn

Thanks alot for the positive comment,Carolyn. I have been wanting to post this poem for a while,but each time the site`s been down. Yes £5 -$5 from every able person in the world would lift the black cloud from the unfortunate ones who have to endure this horrible life..blessings love, Paul.
