Very hard for one to see,
Even harder to actually be.
Skeletal existence a tragic sight,
A heavy heart knowing their plight.
..
Only crime was being born,
To a world full of scorn.
They are God’s children none the same,
The whole World should be ashamed.
..
We go about our daily lives,
Unconcerned with their strife.
Little ones with naught to eat,
We quibble about what’s on our feet.
..
In this world of material excess,
Not one child should be in distress.
Children starving is not a game,
Many countries are to blame.
..
People sit with all their riches,
Ignoring ones lost in the ditches.
It's their fault is their usual cry,
This they mutter with a dry eye.
..
My heart is heavy and full of tears,
Their cries are falling on deaf ears.
No reason for a child to starve,
While turkey and beef we doth carve.
..
It's time we take a look at others,
After all they are our brothers.
They need our help it's to be expected,
A starving child can never be accepted.
..
Children starving throughout the world,
It's all around don't take my word.
They are Gods children and not to blame,
The whole World should be ashamed.
..
Butch Phillipps
Daily Quote: I have found the paradox,
that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt, only more love.
