What Good If You Should Gain The World

|

Blog Action Day - Poverty

What good if you should gain everything in this world, only to be left with the universe to go. It's true that the earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Don't let us be the many that goes fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

Do you know that if you make a little more than $2 a day, you are making more money than almost half of the world's population? Do you know that 4 out of 10 people in this world don't even have access to a latrine? Do you know that more than 800 million people go to bed hungry every day? Do you know that more than 26,000 children under the age of 5 die every day due to preventable poverty, disease, and hunger? Do you know that every 3.6 seconds, someone dies of starvation?

Many will never lighten any load until they feel the pressure in their own soul:


Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
