I am the World

All you do to help

Is walk on by

Only a bystander 

Watching me die

I am the boy 

Who asked you for bread

I am the girl

Who sat there and pled

You are a man

Who doesn't care

To help a dying child

A few pennies you won't spare

Ignorance and Want

Wait at your door Ebenezer Scrooge

Wanting more than a glance

Nothing big, nothing huge

The cruelties of life

Before them unfurled

What you didn't know about me is

I am the world
