Every day we hear it,

about the destitute far away,

but people are starving here as well,

each and every day,

there are poor and hungry children,

whose lives are torn apart,

but some go on about developing countries,

and just don't have the heart,

to notice all of the gaunt faces,

of those who are all alone,

instead of talking about the poor far away,

help the ones at home.
