Help me.

by milly   Oct 15, 2006


I am a crying child of a crying nation,
I struggle to survive each day,
My death is of your creation,
You who do nothing but pray.
I need your prayers, don't get me wrong,
I need the world to recognise our plight,
But we need more than just a catchy song,
Your good wishes alone can't make it right.
I am a nameless statistic,
One of the 'regrettables' lost each year,
Your lack of action...it's sadistic,
I need more than just a tear.
I need a hope of salvation,
I need the sun to shine to save,
I am a dying child of a dying nation,
Help me.

    Ok, once again, Very short, it lacks structure, break it into stanzas and it might help. The Flow was good, and the Rhymes where ok.

    Ciao, Joe
