Everyday

Everyday we see kids suffering from abuse and poverty
Everyday we sit back and hope someone else will step in and fix the problem.

Everyday we ignore the screams next door,
Everyday we hope she will leave and then the screams will stop.

Everyday we walk past the homeless,
Everyday we hope and whisper a pray for someone to help them and you couldn't even spare 10cents

Everyday we see families enjoying a day out with the kids and having good times,
Everyday we hope that mum and dad will always be there for us today and tomorrow.

Everyday we we see the signs that someone in our family is yearning for help ,love and acceptance,
Everyday we watch them die as a result of there silence that cannot be broken.

Everyday we judge others and overlook all the aspects of who they are  and only accept what we choose to accept.

Everyday we still close our eyes and walk by .
