A poem in response to some research on the desperate poverty and ill health, homelessness women and children, of Nepal and many other countries, living in such desperate circumstances.
I can only imagine the mental health and physical health issues, they will be dealing with daily.
Ragged abused street children
Poor abused women, ignored
By all the rich tourists
Spending their money
On their pleasures
Closing eyes, hearts
To deep pain in the faces
Of so many
Some good hearts
Volunteer, help
These desperate people
Devastating poverty
Homelessness
Hunger
Starving
Scavenging
Begging
Suffering etched
Into their beautiful faces
Not how
Any human, any child
Should live in 2014
Rich people worldwide
Ignoring this
Living in luxury
Complaining
Whinging
They need more
Entitlement rich
Empathy, compassion poor
Failing to share
Avoiding the truth
Heartless, selfish
I can’t comprehend
Such severe pain
True desperate hopelessness
Daily trauma
Daily struggle to live
Severe mental health issues
Drives so many
To suicide
I’ve asked God
How can You allow this suffering?
His reply is the same…
Back to us.
How can we?

Awesome poem about those suffering. I pray that more will open their eyes to see the suffering around the world and reach out to help.

Thank you for re-blogging this poem. I don’t think it does them justice, in terms of their suffering, but any attention to the needs of those truly suffering, can help.

Yes, I have felt that too many of us don’t know about what is happening outside of our own little world. It’s so sad…

I think everyone can try and make a difference, for all the people suffering poverty and suffering on this scale. But, I can only do what I can do and hope more people decide to also.
