Plead For Help
By Hope Elizabeth
To Whomever This May Conern (and this concerns every able body) :
Do you care?
Do you not hear my sister crying?
My brother weeping, my grandma dying of pain?
Do you not see through me?
My sincerity, my fear, my desperation
Even the just of a little hope of asking you to help me
I live in a land in which disease and famine quickly spreads
I live in a country in which endless problems will never go away
I live in a world in which people are so unreachable they’ll kill a man instead of turning away
I live in a world in which the rich think of nothing poor
They ignore poverty even though they have billions of dollars to give us a new life with a swiftness like a knife
The majority ignore us, the minority defends us
The authorities do nothing here, which is why I’m pleading to you
Do you want me and my family to starve to death?
Are you really so selfish that, like a thief, you’d take things away without thinking about other people, and even if you are thinking about other people, you ignore their feelings?
I am asking you desperately to help me, please do something, do anything!
For my life, and the lives of others, depend on a person like you
