People suffer; it's always going to happen
but that's hardly an excuse to stand idly by.
We need to make a stand every now and then
only then will successful deeds start to apply.

Charity is not weakness, but an act of love
to show sincere kindness for those in need.
A gesture of respect that is rarely spoken of
restoring dignity with the act of a simple deed.

It's a shame there isn't more than I could do
as at times I require resources to take action.
My lack of help occasionally makes me blue
as the help given rarely offers any satisfaction.

More can be done; of that I am quite aware
to really show how much we actually care.
