Stand up against poverty

Location

 

 

Stand up against poverty
stand up against hunger
stand up for the humanity
with a resolute heart, and
let this be your pledge.
But remember, my friend!
It is not how you stand up,
and where you stand up
but why you stand up,
how long you stand up,
and how much effort
you put with a noble heart
into the cause that matters much.
Ah! My friend, today people
stand up for the sake of
standing up only,
and if you are one of them
then you better sit down
and let them stand up, who are
really concerned for those
who can’t stand up on their own.
