Give Back by cbase: 4:47pm On Oct 08, 2013 |
I watched a child cry ‘Cos his dad upgraded to Apple IOS 7 But then I see another child cry ‘Cos he’s afflicted with hunger I’ve seen kids withdrawn from school ‘Cos there isn’t enough to feed them with Talk less of paying their school fees No child deserves that Every kid deserves an education. I’ve seen children sick There momma cry for help ‘Lil boy needs a heart surgery or a face lift But no help’s forthcoming Such agonies and pains Sweet mommas’ shouldn’t feel. I’ve seen a girl child married To a man old enough to be his grand pa Give her a pen, not your penis grandpa! Send her to school, not your bed. I’ve seen smart kids Streetwise, talented and not recognized Till they stowaway in plane wheels Desperate moves Bid to escape the country. But then, this isn’t just about kids I mean grown folks go hungry too Families without shelter Big daddy cry because his lil’ girl’s prostituting Feel like a bum when he can’t fend for his family That’s mean; he shouldn’t feel less like a man I know some friends Outta school six – seven years ago Jobless, unemployed Can’t support themselves Talk less of starting families I also know folks who lost their jobs Means of livelihood Reminds me to save Take seriously my financial planning. I’ve seen the rich take advantage of the poor And I’ve seen the poor kidnap and kill the rich Who the hell cares? But we do, don’t we? Life is unfair But we count ourselves lucky I know I am. Our stomach don’t hurt 3 times a day we eat 7 days a week Over our heads there’s a roof Covered, our unclothedness is Nourished are our kids And healthy are our families. Uncle 2pac said “It's time for us as a people to start making some changes. Change the way we live and change the way we treat each other.” I wonder what it takes to make this world a better place... Let’s start that war on poverty its time to heal each other Feed that hungry child Pick an interest, send him to school Invest in that poor home Orphanages abound Even amidst us helpless orphans struggle I got love for my unemployed brothers, We can go somewhere definitely When we share with each other If we don’t take care of them Who will? Definitely not Dettol Come on! Adopt a charity Give hope Give Back #singing Lucky Dube’s “blessed is the hand that giveth… ”
