If Only More Were Willing

June 2, 2014
By Anonymous

Everywhere they’re injured,
Everywhere they’re sick,
Looking for the answers
To relieve them from the tick
But no one really wants to help,
They take, but will not give.
Corruption appears everywhere,
And makes it hard to live.
If only more were willing,
If only more were kind-
Millions could be saved each day,
And that I wouldn’t mind.
We have the tools to make a change,
But sadly, we never do.
If only more were willing,
Maybe justice could be true.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
