Crisis: A Cry For Help
The love in my heart goes out
 To the hungry children in drought
 They seem to be without
 Any hope, as they are strangled
 And tangled by the clutches of
 Life’s long and thick ropes
 
 Japan is in a time of need
 After the rumble of the earth
 Causing a rising of the sea
 An atrocity had been birthed
 That flooded their city streets
 Destroyed homes and roads
 And swept away lives
 After abruptly invading 
 The Japanese people’s abode
 
 The love in my heart goes out
 To the poor families in doubt 
 Residing in my motherland Africa
 She seems to be losing her sons
 Rebels uprising in the horizon
 Negotiating with violence and guns
 Children battling on the front line
 When blood is drawn and one is gone
 Mothers run to the corpse in tears
 Thinking WOW that child was mine
 
 Egypt, Libya, Yemen 
 Bahrain, Tunisia and Jordan
 Have either rebelled
 Or completed a revolution
 Their people compelled
 Harshly unjust rulers
 To better themselves
 And their children
 In the upcoming future
 
 The love in my heart goes out
 When I think about
 How children of the Middle East
 Live in a war zone of poverty
 Innocent women and children
 Are still being raped and killed
 Meanwhile we look the other way
 We’re not on that battle field
 Who cares if they live another day
 
 Damn I feel bad for that guy
 Living on a street corner
 Shuffling through houses
 But nobody wants him
 Looked at as a bum
 A f*** up that’s dumb
 Living off change and leftovers
 Which to us are crumbs
 Some of us floss range rovers
 Still living in the slums
 Looking down upon him
 
 People need to care more
 Listen, help and share more
 Because when you get on
 Who will you be therefore?
 Therefore in these times of
 Poverty, Sickness and War
 We’ll die if we don’t help
 Due to the simple fact
 That we can’t do
 Everything by ourselves
