BREAKFAST TIME

You go to breakfast, your daily need
Pick up a paper any news to read?
A mother starves her child is crying
In far off lands, there are people dying

Their hunger ravaged stomachs swell
Condemed a life of living hell
You hear their cries, but not their plea's
Where only death brings sweet release

But its not your problem, you earn a wage
So eat your breakfast, turn the page
Thats more like it a cricket score
Forget the million starving poor

But before you leave just spare a thought
It really is'nt all their fault
So show some pity instead of scorn
They had no choice where they were born.

It's truly sad how these people are treated. After all, it's not like they chose to be born there like you said. But great poem there, I await others.

Alas we don't help the poor nations enough,
What ever be the reason,
Now is the time to reverse the trend,
This coming Christmas Season.
Nicely put.

They cry, they weep,
they cannot keep,
their tears from flowing down,
their life a burning hell for them,
Scars are on their crown,
The wounds keep bleeding,
Refuse to heel, and deep down,
In their soul,hell fire rages,
Embers orange smoulder away,
Their salvation from this suffering,
Is never on the way!!!!!
Graham, as usual, this is beautiful,
Close to my heart, and therefore this rejoinder!!!
Keep caring for those...I am with you!!!
