Nothing I can do

We turn a cold shoulder to one another Turn a blind eye to helping each other Tell you that "we'll pray for you" And in the same breath say "there's nothing I can do" Instead of actually helping out They only sit there and and talk about What some one else needs to be doing Instead of actually pursuing A way to help those that need it the most They're deaf as a post To the cries of the broken, of the hungry, of the poor Safely protected from that world by a door Turning their head as they walk by Carefully making sure not to catch their eye "No, there's nothing I can do," "But I'll make sure to pray for you."
