Statistics

There are people in this world who are dying today.

Statistics somehow make it ok

Well it's only 18% of the population that are affected. 

It's not that big of a deal. 

There are people around the world in poverty

Who don't have enough to eat

There are people around this world who have the means to help those people

There are those who have more than they can take

And yet we still just see them as  statistics instead of seeing the souls of the people who are struggling

We wonder why there is so much fighting and so much war

We wonder why people are so bitter and why they have so much hate

If you only see them as another statistic

Another wayward soul

Another person lost to the system

Lost to the cold

Lost to the world

You will never have the empathy to see or to feel

People's joys

People's pains

Seeing people for who they are

Until everyone is free of hunger

Until there is no more suffering from war and poverty and disease

Until not one person ever has to worry about not being able to feed their families

Until everyone is represented equally under the sun

No amount of statistics will make it better

No amount of statistics or analysis will ease the pain of the world

Soon we will all become statistics

Cogs in an ever more destructive  and faulty machine

Just numbers to be forgotten when we are gone. 

Tossed aside

Rejected

I am nobody's statistic

I am a human being

We are nobody's statistic

We each have our own lives

Our own humanities

We all have something to offer 

So if anyone ever tries to classify you

Restrict you

Or just see you as another statistic in their game

Just let them know I am nobody's statistic

I am a human being

I have the right to exist as a choose

And the right to live and love and cry just the same as you.
