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.
