THE CHOICE TO CARE

By Rosemary Clarke 

We can't categorise people's problems

We can't put them on the shelf

The more we talk about them

The more we are ourselves.

We can't 'brush it under the carpet' 

We've got to lend a hand

To every single creature

In every single land.

We know how we are feeling

We just don't let it out

So I say that the whole damn world

Should just stand up and shout!

It would make us feel much better

And we'd be able to cope

To bottle it all up inside

Is acting like a dope!

EVERYBODY'S problem

Should be EVERYBODY'S care

That way when we all need a hand

We know there'll be one there.

Everybody's problem

No matter big or small

If everybody cared more

There would be help for all.
