Empty

My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together. ~ Desmond Tutu

 

Empty souls

Empty plates

Empty bellies

Where is our humanity; the need is so great

Yet the motivation to seek a solution

Is nowhere to be found

Empty souls

Empty plates

Empty bellies

We watch in silence

We fail to act

Nothing gets done

Empty souls

Empty plates

Empty bellies

The wounds are so deep

The pain is unimaginable

What a wretched world we’ve created

Empty souls

Empty plates

Empty bellies

Our collective silence, bred this beast

People of good conscience please take notice 

Souls are dying
