One World,One Hand


We demand.We expect. We desire.

We want to strive. We want to live.

We abuse. We forget. We ignore.

Many suffer for us. We tend to forget them.

We need to stop. We need to help.

Children crying.Parents dying. People starving.

I want to help. I want to inspire. I want to give back.

My career is a reflection of my desire. To save a life. 

My job will insipre, will require labor, time, and hope.

I will work hard. I will not quit. I will succeed.

Not just for myself, but for those who suffer.

Who need medical attention. Who need help.

Medicine. Natural or Synthetic. Will cure the pain.

A child's smile is worthile.

We need to help.
