Poor Children


The world in shambles

Not everyone can see, but those who do suffer most

Sadness, sickness, Hunger

Children suffering, without a chance to live

Children that could change the world

Stuck, Missing, Poor

Blocked behind a wall of the less fortunate

Unable to be educated, get medical care, live

The homeless Americans are more fotunate 

than even the rich in some countries

Help! They need it

Help! They're dying

Help! American can give them

Less selfishness

We do not need the best

We need enough

They need enough

We have enough

They need enough

The world is big and needs love

Love enough to give neccesities to everyone

Sacrifice all the wants of first world

for the needs of third world

The needs that will save lives
