We see your faces plastered
All over the T.V. screen
We see all your suffering
We see all the sad things
But there is still hope

We see you starving away
They say send money to help you
And we send all that we can
We even send food
To help nourish you

Some of you have no homes
No clothes on your backs
We send the things
That we have no use for
And hope it gets to you safely

Even though some people
See you as a pathetic plea
To spend their money
Others see the urgency
And show the love

So to the children of the world
Who are homeless
Have no clothes on their back
Have no food to eat or medicine to take
We love you and will help you in anyway

Yep. Pitiful images. It is a shame that this can go on in the world. It is equally a shame (more really) that so many of the places that advertise for donations to help them children are out and out shams. Even when you fine one that actually gets the money where it is supposed to go more times than not it is stolen by the politicians before it ever get to the children. I think they should take these people out and shoot them ten minutes after they have discovered they have stolen the money. Do that enough times and the money would start helping the pitiful kids. Guess you can see this is a sore spot with me.

Jerry, thanks for the comment. Yes, I see it is a sore spot. That is why I don't donate to them even though I would like to. But that does not mean I still do not have compassion for them.

Faith, thank you for your comment. I do have compassion for these children. I hate to see anybody living a life like that.
