~When~

When? If not now
will you ever allow yourself
to see past all the deception
That much to my dismay
does allow for animals to be exploited
does allow for the beauty of a forest
to be reduced to mere stumps and ashes
does allow for prejudice and discrimination
to exist...
keeping deserving other's from enjoying
the same human and civil rights many
take for granted...
does allow for those without health care
to be denied decent access
to treatment and wellness
does allow for the homeless to be hungry
stripped of their dignity
alone, cold and ignored
does allow for our youth to leave for war
as heroes and return home to us as strangers
When will there be justice for the humanitarians?

The truth is... we all must begin to care
and do more to actively participate
in finding solutions rather then
to just passively sit and stare in self-poise
or choose to simply look the other way
because the truth is just too painful to bear.
I encourage us all to
Act passionately...
Live with a purpose...
And be the change we wish to see
Because sister's and brother's you can become
part of the solution instead of compounding our pain
For the fate and future of our world
rests in our own hands
and as the clock keeps ticking
our purpose's are calling us by name.
So Please Listen...closely
and stop pointing the blame
for we each have some unique talent
to contribute towards saving one and the same.
