People crying out in pain,


People crying out in pain,

Children dying 

It's insane.

You'd think 

with all our smarts

We'd find a way to help

To put an end to the madness 

To feed and aid the poor

To take care

of those who cannot

take care of themselves

I want to be there

I want to stop the pain

It won't be in vain

This world needs more Nurses

Changing their lives

Changing mine
