Are we supposed to just ignore

What we see everyday on the streets?

The homeless and poor,

Begging, starving,

The rich and happy,

Ignoring and on walking?

Are we supposed to just ignore,

What we see out in the world?

Families broken,

Lives lost

All for one reason

While ignoring the cost?

Are we supposed to just ignore

What we see in our everyday lives?

Dreams shattered,

People dying

Losing hope

And children crying?

Instead of ignoring,

Let’s take a chance

Somebody’s life

You could enhance

Keep your eyes open

And look about

Change a life,

Just reach out.
