• Lives

    Bare bones
    Shattered bones
    Children so skinny you can see every bone they possess,
    No food
    No water
    No nothing.

    Waiting for their chance to find life,
    Not to die at the feet of their loved ones.

    Beer bottles stacked,
    Placed on the floor as he rest his head in his hands,
    Depression hit him hard when he lost his wife,
    Now with a child no one wants
    Drink more
    Smoke more.

    His cancer will get the best of him soon enough,
    The child will live with the sadness forever.

    Amazing beautiful houses,
    Everything a person could want
    All in the palms of their hands,
    Laughing as the unfortunate struggle to live.

    Giving money to the homeless,
    Donating all their time and money to the orphanage,
    Giving food to the starving families.

    Isn't life something to look forward to?
    Starving children will grow up to be doctors, lawyers or just a parent
    Their family is so proud,
    That child grew up writing and opened her eyes to the world
    She now writes poetry about life,
    The greedy will get what they deserve
    Nothing,
    The giving, with hearts of gold, will see children's face glow as they see someone cares
    Love will reach everyone.
