Oh Lord!
What can I do?
What can I do to stop this?
People are starving,
Children and babies are dying
Simply because they are allowed to starve.
It seems it is hoped they’ll starve.
Less trouble later, if they die young.
How can people be so cruel?
How can they allow this?
How can they sleep at night?
Where is their compassion?
It makes me ANGRY.
It makes me sad.
I feel useless.
It MUST STOP.
Please, Please HELP us.

Compassion extends to the end of our field of vision. It is walled off by the screen on our TV. it is distanced by news print. We are desensitized by graphic movies that we know are not true. We are not there so it doesn't exist. A poem that is a plea for us to realize the reality of the situation and do something about it. But then we all feel helpless so we do nothing. Sad.
Thank you. It breaks my heart to see such cruelty and suffering.
Your reply I felt was a poem in its own right by the words you chose.
Thank you.
Doesn't just make me sad it makes me fuming, that in a so called civilised part of the world, everyone stands and watches as one nation carries on its cleansing operations in some of the cruelest ways possible to elimate a nation. They can talk bullshit all day long, bullshit doesn't save life's or bring around peace, action does, nicely expressed and written write
