Literature Text

To the world,
Let my words be heard on this night.
I do not want to revel in material delight,
I just wish for those less fortunate than myself to be happy come morning's light.

To the world,
I care not for jewels and silver, and platinum, or gold.
All that I wish, for those who are young and those who are old,
Is that they have shelter from the fierce, bitter, cold.

To the world,
I do not want to wake and see presents under a decorated tree,
I would rather know that the homeless children are in safe company,
Rather than shivering, huddled close, in a filthy and forgotten alley.

To the world,
I know you may not believe me because I am so young...
But I can see where society's "garbage" is flung...
I think it is the fortunate ones who should be treated like dung
This was written to honor those who are less fortunate than myself and so many others. I wish I could help them... It is apalling that so many people go by them every day and do not even give them a second glance... When someone rich and famous dies the whole world weeps... when a good, honorable man who is homeless dies, no one notices.... That truth alone has made me weep. Please keep those less fortunate in your thoughts. (And in prayers if you pray.) They deserve it. Have a wonderful holiday and stay safe, everyone. I wish you all well. :huggle:
