Its Not Till It Happens

Its not till it happens
That you final realise
The pain that comes
From these eyes

The shivering cries
Of an un-settled child
Bleeding in you ears
As you see the pain within

As you watch him put on a smile
Saying he is alright
As he run around for food
All through the night

His family are cooking
The boys favourite meal;
Plain wheat or barley
With a glass of cold muddy water

hes not on his own
At night he sleeps with his family
As they only have one bed
To fit 4 people

There are to many children
Like this young lad
Craving only the smallest thing
Like a childes toy

As you read this think
WE SHOULD ACT
Help stop poverty today
dont jus watch and layback
