people dont realize this, <br />there are people out there, <br />freezing, dying, starving. <br /> <br />though no one seems to care, <br />all i want to do with my life is, <br />give all those who need help, <br />a taste sunlight, warmth, <br />a home to sleep in. <br /> <br />im one of the most ungrateful people i know, <br />but somewhere in there, <br />may be some hope for others, <br />that really need food. <br /> <br />america, you disgust me, <br />with all the rich people, <br />and all the fat people, <br />who dont even eat everything, <br />that they had on their plate. <br /> <br />where does that food go? <br />in the garbage, <br />when it could go to a hungry child. <br /> <br />why hasnt any of you thought, <br />that maybe you could be save someones life. <br /> <br />none of you care one bit, <br />when there is probably a baby, <br />or a little boy and girl, <br />crying in their sleep, <br />praying that they see tomorrow, <br />with their stomach growling, <br />none of you care at all. <br /> <br />why dont you try to survive, <br />in africa or china, <br />that’s what i thought, <br />you’re too selfish to even care. <br /> <br />the clothes on your back, <br />with the warmth of the food, <br />the comfort of the cozy bed at night, <br />none of you care at all. <br /> <br />none of you realize, <br />the world is getting worse, <br />and it will never progress, <br />all because of your selfishness.<br /><br />Heather Cropper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/selfishness-5/
