The Big Thirst
I am a little girl from a third world country
And I fight for water because it’s hard to find from where I’m from
But I hear you have plenty..why won’t you share?
Why can’t I have any? Don’t you waste it and use it all the time?
I just need a little taste to survive
Save it and help others like me, don’t be stingy just out of greed
Why do you think that it is okay for you to have a surplus amount
And my family and I are over here fighting for
A drop a day, a drop for survival
I don’t mean to ask so many questions
But I just must know why..why won’t you share?
Please save some for me
I know you can do it
Use less not more
You just have to try
I’m honestly too young to die.
