Help!
Through the darkness and shadow
Help!
My cry through the battle

You know what I see
But you don't see me
Though I see you
I see right through

You are unreal to me
Living in your luxury
And I do not exist
With my hungry mouth and bony wrist

And what of I
Can you not hear me cry
Can you not save me
From this invisible enemy

Don't look away
Don't say 'Nay'
I need your second glance
Please give me a chance

No matter where you go
I will be in tow
No matter where you are
I will not be far

You may not see me
You may not believe
But here I am
A silent lamb

But who am I
Can I not die
As Truth I am always there
And my goal is to make you care

I may be the end of life
Starvation or emotional strife
The death of a child without sin
Or the genocide of many kin

I am everywhere
Though you may not see me there
My patience is a sea
How much longer 'til you notice me?
A poem I made out of a sudden burst of humanitarianism.
