Look in our
backyards
There are the
things we don’t see
The many NGOs
go overseas
Donating food
and stuff to the poor
Some will do
the collections
The cause for
Palestine and destitute
What happen to
charity begin at home?
These NGOs have
forgotten our poor
We have our
urban poor and homeless
They are
sitting right in the public view
We don’t see
politicians making their rounds
We don’t see
many NGOs help them
When newspapers
highlight on these poor
The politicians
will make an appearance
It is one off
show then the poor are forgotten
Nothing is
changed; it stays the same
The poor and
homeless
They live day
by day
Tomorrow they
can’t say
Because they
may be gone or police take them away
