The World Suffers

by michelle   Apr 2, 2008


Starving hungry
I roam the streets
Hoping and praying
For something to eat

Young children
Lay in the dirt
Starving and diseased
They ache and hurt

Why do they suffer so
When across the world
People have to much to carry
Yet not enough to share

People die daily
Are raped and abused
Living in poverty
A life they did not choose

Help them live longer
Help them to heal
Send some money
To buy them a meal

    Aww... I can feel the desperate atmosphere all the way here in cold Norway. I'm really impressed. Good choice of words!

    Nicely written. I feel the same way, people have so much yet they do not even give anything at all. We need to think of the poor and needy and help them. Great work!
