Have
you ever…
Searched for food in alleys,
Understood the complete loss
of hope,
Found yourself with no place
to call home,
Fought for a dry spot to
sleep,
Endured the pain of rotting
teeth,
Realized all family ties are
gone,
Expected nothing more than
another day of anguish,
Died a thousand times in
your mind?
Perhaps I’ll say a prayer
for you,
Asking that you can find it
In your heart to
Never look at another person
with contempt.
This I’ll do for you as I watch my last breath
disappear in
the cold morning air.
Have
you ever…
Begged for food so your baby
would stop crying,
Entered the gates of hell
just to survive another day,
Enraged those around you by
simply existing in their world,
Noticed those less fortunate?
Happiness is beyond my reach
Under this bridge as I sing
lullabies.
No coat to protect my child
from the cold.
Gathering cardboard for
shelter as I
Reflect on the idea that
You may never see me as a
human being worthy of a better life.
as I hear my child’s stomach grumble for
nourishment.
Have
you ever…
Kindled the fires of hatred
from
Nothing more than your
Own broken soul,
Wondered how the world could
Never even once recognize your
need for love and understanding?
Glittering lights fill my
eyes each night as I
Reach out for any form of
acceptance.
Instead, I realize I can
only
Escape through anger and
violence.
Forever lost in this world
of hate that surrounds me.
My wife and children will be the real
losers in this deadly game I play.
Have
you ever…
Spent a moment of time to
notice the
Emptiness in the
Eyes of the lost society and
their
Need for help from those of
us more fortunate?
Do you really believe
they are all there by choice?
Have
you ever…
Gathered all your strength
and become
Involved in any community
aid program?
Voiced your willingness to
help those who need it?
Expected a better day for
all men and then put forth the time to make it happen?
Neglected your own wants for
the sake of another human being?
