A voice asked: "Do you have a plan ?"
"I believe I do", I began...
"Indeed, explain it then... if you can!"
Yesterday, I saw hunger crying
It filled a photo and my eyes
Wanted to look away... quite unwise!
I shrugged my shoulders wondering...
What am I doing to save the world?
How can I make a difference?
Today, I remember the photo,
Shocked and outraged it even exists
I can't understand how this persists
In a world that evolved long ago...
Truthfully I do not know... Do you?
But then I thought about those who care...
Who does give it a single thought? Do you?
Who does take action and fight despair?
Often I feel so powerless,
But it's not about me or you ...
Is it. One must help the helpless,
One can't go on saying "if I knew".
Do you know what I mean? Do you?
I can't change the world... on my own!
I can take back my lost powers,
I can join my voice to others...
As "ONE" we're heard and known.
I did joined my voice to "ONE",
I spread the word then signed my name...
Now I hope that what we have done
Will echo loud, like a running flame!
I am no star out in the world,
But I am one in my own home...
I do not sell millions of books,
Do not attract millions of looks,
But I do bring one more voice, do you?
What do I do to save the world?
How do I make a difference?
How do I care against misery?
I keep faith in mankind and write;
Do you?

Poetry: Do you?
I believe in our world there exists more good than bad
And that even in the bad lies a modicum of good
Do you?
I believe that
DO YOU?
Look deep within these eyes of mine
Tell me what is it that you see.
Do you see all the yesterdays
Or do you see
A voice asked: "Do you have a plan ?"
"I believe I do", I began...
"Indeed, explain it then... if you can!"
Yesterday, I saw
Do you even care what happens to me
Do you even hurt when you see me cry
Do you even want to hold me anymore when the day
by farawaysis
Do you love me?
Do you not?
Do you see me?
It's all I got?
I gave my best,
My heart you hold,
Please hold it tight,
And don't let
