Living on Hope
July 2, 2013
Dusty Streets
A blazing sun,
Food and Water?
There is none.
Living on hope
Crying out,
Helping others
Around and about.
Children shouting
They wail and they cry,
Willing for a change
A signal or a sign.
They're grateful for everything
The little good that comes their way,
They're constantly working
All night, all day.
The air is filthy
They cough and they weep,
They need to survive
They sniffle and sleep.
Begging off strangers
It's all they can do,
They just want someone to help them
Could it be you?
