The World is Bleeding
The world is bleeding, from the inside out,
with a punctured heart ready to burst.
Call Universal O- blood donors.
They may be able to save the most first.
A rain of tears cleanses streets from the red-
stained, dripping sheet-shrouds oozing children's blood.
While flesh is shredded from human bone by-
natural forces of wind, earth, and flood.
The world lies, wounded, bleeding in our E.R.
being diligently worked on for life.
Are we the Universal O- blood donors?
Or murderers armed with a deadly knife?
Father, we pray your kind Mercy draws nigh.
As many each day will bleed out and die.
Type O Negative O negative is the most common blood type used for transfusions when the blood type is unknown. This is why it is used most often in cases of trauma, emergency, surgery and any situation where blood type is unknown.
