the empty promises

 

Charity we are told when young

It should start at home before we see

Everybody beyond our focus

Let our own have charity from us


As we grow older

Watching the tales unfold

We will see the difference

When adults walk on the scene


The politicians will shout

Helping others beyond our shore

They want publicity and recognition

Back home there is no publicity


Charity is a noble cause

Give it to where it should begin

Help our own before we think of others

The politicians don't see


They want publicity

Scoring points for politics

Leaving our own crying for help

It will take a long time and empty promises
