So many people
so unawares;
crowd-sourced consumption
with the shallowest of cares!
The bright lights will blind you
to the suffering and trials
that shuffle on by
all the selfies and smiles.
Can we not stop and see
what our leaders have done?
Shall we put down our phones?
there’s a fight to be won!
So care for the widow
the stranger, the poor
and help out the homeless
and open a door
to a house, and a home
and a cycle that breaks;
your action starts now
as they’re raising the stakes!
