Poor

A step to a better world
 
Is to let the sails come unfurled.
 
Life is too much for any one man
 
We must do all we can.
 
Let our spirits soar
 
Let there be no more poor.
 
No one ever benefited
 
How could they have benefited?
 
Open your minds
 
No more melon rinds.
 
Let there be homes for all:
 
Great and small.
 
Give to those who need.
 
Don't consume yourself with greed.
 
Let there be no more poor.
 
Let there be no more.
 
Think of others,
 
For we are all brothers.
 
Give at food drives,
 
Save lives.
 
Lend a room in your home,
 
So that the poor may never roam.
 
Give clothes away
 
So that the poor are warm another day.
 
Look inside your heart
 
And be smart.
 
No one ever needed it more
 
Than the poor.
 
Save a life
 
So that there is no more strife.
 
Visit the pale and sickly
 
And do it quickly.
 
When someone has no one,
 
Be their someone.
 
No matter what time of year,
 
Everyone needs the cheer
 
Of another person in their life,
 
So won't you save a life?
 
Surely you will be rewarded
 
Even if your actions are unrecorded.
 
If you do not do these things,
 
They will surely overtake your things.
 
Let it not be you,
 
Give to someone other than you.
 
Let our spirits soar away,
 
Let there be no more poor today.
