Circumstance

Victims of circumstance
the poor and the lifeless
definitions of poverty, malnutrition and abuse.
Born to learn hunger, deprivation and disease.
The world is our
to have and to hold.
government denies this marriage
bragging infidelity.
Bring proof
loyalties and power mean nothing.
Children are starving.
Open the eyes to your heart
overlook the ignorance
breathe intelligence.
The world is ours
in sickness and in health
till death do us part.
