how dare we complain
how dare i complain,of my problems of my life,so mild and meek:
when others in the world,are devastated,starving and so weak:
how dare i feel sorry for myself,when i have a home,running water,and food as my wealth:
when others in the world are fighting for their life and health:
how dare i complain of the rain:
when others are devastated,homeless and in great pain:
how dare i be so selfish and think of my little problems with my family and me:
when others are surviving,tradgedy,crying for help,food and shelter they plea:
how dare we even among us argue and complain:
when others in the world are so destroyed,and in pain:
how dare we even pray,for little problems we face today:
when others have lost all,now trying to survive some way:
how dare we only think of ourself at this time:
when others are alone dying,and crying,waiting to be rescued in line:
how dare we not care for others over there:
our problems so minimal,theirs monumental in compare:
we can not be selfish and now think of our own:
to those over there,our compassion must be shown:
we cant waste a prayer on ourself in greed:
every prayer has to be sent over there,for those in greater need:
