I Am

I am a world helper
I wonder about the poor people
I hear parents crying and children screaming
I see people hurt and families being forced to separate
I want everyone to be treated well and cared for
I am a world helper

I pretend that all children have lots of food and love
I feel really jealous because we have a better lifestyle than them
I touch their sad faces in photos
I worry that they will die at a young age from ill treatment
I cry because their homes get destroyed by ruthless humans
I am a world helper

I understand that they live like this because they have no options
I say that it is disgusting to disregard children's basic rights
I dream that one day all children will be treated equally
I try to think that their standard of living will improve
I hope I will be able to donate lots of money for them so they can be free
I am a world helper
