The Poet

Babies dying, people crying,
Where is the help?

No water, no food, no insulin
Where is the help?

Rivers flooding, homes collapsing,
Where is the help?

Newspaper specials everywhere,
Where is the help?

Lots of noise, signifying nothing,
Where is the help?

Bodies flowing into the streets,
No food for days,
Where is the help?

Living people dying,
Where is the help?

Will help always be a day away?
Help delayed is help denied.

Res ipse sequitur.
The whole world is watching.
