well dang im on a roll tonight. i think its my music choice XD anyways next poem!

They are starving and can still smile

we have everything but are not sastified

they go for weeks on end with no food

we have plenty but we waste it

we are too caught up in petty self concerns

to notice the suffering going on around us

death is not an unfamiliar concept for them

while for us it is taboo

we are devoted to our name being known

while thousands upon thousands of theirs are lost everyday

before we cut for ourselves,

I think we should cut for them first

before we pull the trigger for our hopeless lives

think of them first

before we cry for ourselves

cry for them first
