The poor in poverty,
Can't afford a property.
The rich in their mansions,
Don't get what they want; tantrums.
All the worlds races,
Shouldn't be up in each other's faces.
People judging by the cover,
Go and look at the world, discover.
From the hands that offer,
to the hands that take someone's daughter.
Give up on people slaughter,
Go pray at the alter.
Death causes hearts to melt,
Just wishing they were somewhere else.
No racism in our world,
No grenades being hurled,
There is not terrorist acts,
They should be the facts.
So reach out and help,
There's no need to yelp.
Help tho
