Brave New World - The Need to Act

LONDON - Feb. 10, 2016 - PRLog -- A poem about strength. About courage - about heart.

A poem about might - about embracing the fight.

A poem about them - their will to survive.

Their story is pain - yet still we refrain,

to stop their tears, that have fallen for years.

The need to act -

is now:


Fear not brave soul,

of hopes and dreams.

An unheard voice,

who shouts and screams.

Your cry strikes tremors

in hearts and minds.

But why dies down,

weathered, unwinds?

For poverty is noble,

a cause to unite.

But a cause that is woeful,

with its heart out of sight.

Because through the efforts,

the goals, the cause,

your voice runs dry

by money and laws.

 Your voice runs governed

by statistical figures,

by media, by outlets

by political triggers.

But your figure is a life,

a birth of a child.

A story like ours,

emotion run wild.

So at its core

in providing charity,

from human to human

to eliminate disparity,

the essence of aid

should always prevail,

as that to assist

in a personal tale.

As that for the child,

keen and eager,

to fulfil their dreams,

not ill and meagre.

A child like you were

in your mother’s arms curled.

Their change is coming.

Brave New World.
