Why do we wait

Why do we wait?

Why must we wait till the sky is falling,
To answer our brothers and sisters frantic calling.
Help me! Help me! I need you now!
But no one moves until we’re prompted by the ground.
I’m starving, I’m broke, and I need a job,
But none of us can help until we can be a part of the help mob.
Each and every day we all know of those that are caught in the struggle,
But we can’t give assistance because we have our own lives to juggle.
We all have struggles and we all have problems,
With our minds on forever, together we can solve them.
It’s not just a nice thought, it’s actually our obligation,
To help our human brothers and sisters regardless of their nation.
So instead of waiting for the next tragedy to strike those less fortunate,
Let’s help each other daily because it is so important.
And the best part of it all is that everyone wins,
So let’s focus on helping each other instead of focusing on each other’s sins.

We all know that times are hard these days. Survival becomes more and more difficult with each hour that passes. Instead of worrying about our own situations, we should try to help others overcome their struggles; then we can put our energy into positive pursuits instead of contemplating negative outcomes.

We are all a part of the human family and so we must strive to assist our relatives in any way we can. It is only to our benefit to help each other daily, not just when we are in a horrible situation. And the more we make communal assistance a daily action, the less we will have to do when calamity strikes. And even if we do have to help more in times of emergency, it will not be a new experience for us. Together we can truly make our world the place we want it to be. We just have to stop letting times of tragedy be the only times we are concerned about the greater good.

We’re all here together, so let’s live like it.
