who will speak for the silent?

oh, every dazzling celebrity

has their little pet charity;

every up-and-coming politician

has money to burn.

but their causes are nothing,

mere fluff for the masses –

pretending they mean it!

pretending they care!

who will speak for those who

cannot make it to a shelter?

who will speak for those who

are too far gone for help?

whose voice will thunder

with the needs of the broken?

will it be them?

will it be you?

or are you just going to donate your

dollar a day

like everybody else?
