Invisible Problems


Hungry children on the streets, only looking for something to eat.

Soldiers flown from shore to shore, dreaming of being at their families door.

Women beat and left for dead, all because he got in her head. 

Homeless men asking for money, but socitey seems to think its funny. 

These invisible problems, are they not there?

For we all know none of this seems very fair.

Turning our heads will only hurt, those men and women covered in dirt.

Everyone need to step up and take a part, for all of us are equal; we all have a heart.

If I could only change one thing this would be it;

So no one feels unwanted and no one gets hit.

The problems not invisible; it is really there, we all need to look around and actually care.

Changing society is hard to do, but then again society beings and ends with you.
