Outreach
Reach deep into the gloom
Touch a heart that suffers from impending doom
Stretch out you hand to grab some starlight
Lower your head for the ones who lost the fight
The mind can search for answers in endless space
Your emotions can isolate you from the human race
Cry out for more but be prepared to settle for less
For only the lonely know how less is best
The child needs love that we cannot give
We throw away the future for the ones who will not stay to
help the children live
How many living things have passed away?
So just a few can waste away in the slums of life with no
way to re-pay all that they wasted away
