The hungry children whose parents are gone

Unsheltered, their lonely tears are washed away by the jungle rain

Giving to the hungry

Caring for the poor

Why is no one else here? Does anyone care anymore?

They cry out desperate to be heard

So poor it hurts

Is their burden really theirs alone to bear?

The children of a wealthy nation cursed to poverty by their brothers and foreign lands

Nations turn a blind eye

Is this really our decision to make?

Robbed of their birthright, robbed of voice

They battle every day for a simple gift

Life

But the complex greed of earth often robs them of this too

Their pain remains unseen

Their suffering goes unheard
