Words alone, even
lofty, holy words
will not change
the state of poverty
By word alone, no
one will be fed,
unless it is the Word
of God.
Action, small,
grand, whatever you can do
action is required
to change this world
to send the food
to the hungry, water to the thirsty
Actions are
needed, near and far
But let the words,
start here, let them lead to action
let the world
change, and hearts become open
let all be
provided for, none in need
Let the words lead
to justice, around the world
