AWARE

Absolute knowledge we declare,
but we are blindly unaware,
not that we do not care,
we are just deaf to despair.

Ears hear what they want to hear.
Hunger still brings tides of tears,
little ones cry and disappear.
Isn't that our fear?

Eyes see what they want to see.
Passing over those that plea.
We have a will that is free,
to which humanity is the key.

D0 we act how we want to act?
Do we stop a fear that's fact?
Only we can make an impact
if we are willing to interact.
