Time

We don’t need your money But can you afford the time Because some of us are homeless Some of us need a sign We don’t need your attention But can you send some doctors Were desperate for medical supplies We need some caring watchers We don’t want your money But can you send some food Most of us are starving here And the living quarters crude Most of us are scattered Some dying in the streets The drought has been so bad Along with this blistering heat Can you spare nickel What about a pound I usually don’t ask for money But today my head hangs down © Copyright KC.Leake 15th December 2014 All Rights Reserved
