Help the younger feel no more hunger,
There is no love to spare, yet we share.
While we have a bed, nice and snug,
They have mice, and a simple rug.
While we tweet,
They think the smallest amount is sweet.
They are poor,
They live in war,
There is discrimination,
And a lot of dehydration.
They are not healthy,
And we are so wealthy.
Many people have no right,
Yet they are bright.
There is some salvation,
However a lot of starvation.
