A Cry For Help

Children crying, children dying
Nobody cares, just keep on buying
Living off the streets
Or in a dumpsite that reeks
So many are unaware
Or others simply just don’t care
Imagine the warmth of your bed on a cold winter night
Some have never known the delight
Carry a bucket all day
If the sky is blue or grey
If you offer a helping hand
Instead of spending on an expensive brand
Perhaps they could cope
And even have a little more hope
