Why You Should Care
It's easy to look at suffering And say “It's not my problem” Because it's safer not to get involved
It's easy to look at the success in your life and say “It's easy. I did it, so you can too.” Without considering how hard it is for someone not like you
“We should judge them solely on their merits” That's a good practice to employ But the rest of the world didn't, ensuring that they will never reach you
“You aren't the only one with problems” True, but theirs have been there for hundreds of years and people like them are killed because people like us do nothing
It's not us against them We all share the same blue sky We all breathe the same air We all stand under the same sun
It's all of us together Walking arm in arm Our friends need us right now And that's why you should care
