A Cry for Help

The world we live in is such a disgrace! Some flourish greatly while others die Do not let your life be a waste! Here in the mighty United States The homeless suffer while we turn a blind eye The world we live in is such a disgrace! We laugh and sing as we partake Of feasts and drink while others starve nearby Do not let your life be a waste! Living affluent lives, but with priorities misplaced From the poor the powerful withhold their large supply The world we live in is such a disgrace! With resolute hearts and with a stoic face The weak and poor know that the end is nigh Do not let your life be a waste! And yet, we as a people can still act in grace To save the destitute and broken can we comply The world we live in is such a disgrace! Do not let your life be a waste!
