Poverty, the lack of
drinking water,
famine, starvation,
uninsured children, dying;
a pandemic of diseases with
known cures
all because of indifference,
negligence,
these are all crimes against
humanity,
far too often against
children.
In a world with such wealth
connected by travel, by
cable,
organization of nations
never should there be these
conditions
on the face of the earth
on the scale in which they
exist.
This must be the first day
of the end of this history;
the first day of a sea
change
where the world’s nations
will not tolerate this
reality;
the first day when love
replaces hate
where compassion replaces
indifference
for all of our sakes.
