one.

do you see? do I?
the pain, hurt, and suffering...
the hopeless, helpless poverty
do we close our eyes
and fold our hands
to what's really going on?

but I say:
I am only one, what can I do?
I am so young, who can I help?
I have so little
it's someone else's job...
but if not you, who will?

babies crying, children dying
people lost in the sea of nothing
and here I sit living as I please
refusing to do anything
that doesn't benefit me

and I continue to call out:
I am only one, what can I do?
I am so young, who can I help?
I have so little
it's someone else's job...
but if you don't, who will?

who will feed them
when they're starving?

who will cloth them
when they're freezing?

who will love them
when they're dying?


who will do it,
if not I?
