The Needy

How can I reach out my hand?
The world puts obstacles in our way,
It’s something I can’t withstand.
I just want to help,
Help the sick, poor…the needy.
But we must own a title,
And having a little cash is vital.
How can I help when I have neither?
Do I want to help them that bad?
Hold on, let me take a breather.
“Dr. McDaniel”
“You can’t do it” they say.
I’m uncertain of the future,
But I can do it, nay.
The work, studying and yearly process,
I’ll work so hard it won’t be a contest
It seems so hard, but I want it,
For them.
The ones lost, plagued with cancer,
Maybe one day, I’ll give them an answer.
