Their Cries
Can't you hear the peoples cries?
But, wait.
Does it even matter to us?
If we aren't the ones in distress?
Do we take the time to ask?
Or is that too much of a task?
Would we make a difference,
If we didn't worry about convenience
And took time to comfort them?
Not to condemn
But to listen
Because it's time to take action
Their hearts are crying out
They're screaming out
For ?love, for attention
They think they are done
With life, with everything
But this is just the beginning
I'm done standing on the sidelines
Because there is a deadline
I don't want to be too late
We need to spread love into the hate
It's time to start
Speak to their hearts
Join me in this mission
It's time for you to listen
Because we're not done
We need to help someone
Open your ears, and open your eyes
Can't you hear their cries?
