In hard times as these

Life has a strong cost.

To be begging on your knees,

And all hope to be tossed.

I too, was the child who longed see a meal.

I saw lavish spending from a friend.

Parents struggle to find a deal.

A helping hand was to hard to lend.

To those who embody greed,

Here lies a toast.

Change the world for those in need,

and give to those who need it most.
