So Much To Give
In this world of
life so cruel we
believe we’ve done
our best when in
reality there is oh
so much more
that we could give.
The earth has
what it takes to
provide for us all,
the problem is
that we’re not
willing to use what
was so naturally
put in front of us.
We have so much
to give to
ourselves and to
others of this
world, yet we turn
away from the
blind, the hungry
,and the homeless
as if they do not
exist. We let so
many die because
we let the natural
resources of our
lands go unaware
and untouched. We
have so much to
give, yet we
refuse to help
those in need.
We’ll help the
countries that are
not our by birth
or right, but turn
our backs on
what's happening
right before our
eyes in our own
hometowns or on
our streets. Kids
killing other kids,
husbands beating
and killing wives,
even young
mothers and
young fathers
killing babies. So
what are we to do
of the problems in
our homeland?
Nothing but ignore
I suppose since
our government
refuses even to
consider the
problems of
today's wayward
youth. We have so
much to give, but
instead, we turn
our backs in
despair and
pretend the
problems aren’t there.
