Make Poverty History

Why is the need for food so strong?
I'd happily give up my meals all week long,
Just so some children could have something to eat,
Some rice, some fish, ro even some meat,

Why is the water they drink so bad?
It obviously makes them sick and sad,
It's dirty, it's gross and it spreads disease,
They get no medicine, and thier pain wont ease.

None of them have nice clothes to wear,
They cannot worry about their hygiene or hair,
They have no shoes; their feet are bare,
Yet no-one worries, and no-one cares.

So please today just hear my call,
I know i will not reach you all,
But if you have a hand to lend,
to help to nourish and to mend,

The broken hearts and shattered dreams,
so maybe one day it will not seem,
That they are forgotten and left with no love,
And that our Lord does care, whilst observing from above.

I know it sounds like a lot to ask,
And some would consider it an impossible task,
but there's no need for this to be a mystery,
so please join in and "Make Poverty History"
