Beautiful Mother

Joanne McDonnell
Language: English




This is not an advert (spoken)
This is not a plea (spoken)
This is just the way it is,
How can this be

Beautiful Mother
Precious newborn in hand
Screaming of hunger
Done all that she can

Beautiful Babies
Wasting away
Distantly hopeful
We watch in Dissmay

Wouldn't you just love to feed the World
This problem still remains
Change the lives of all those boys and girls
And make them feel the same
Just like you and me

If a child died in your loungeroom
Even a stranger to you and me
You wouldn't just carry on your way
you'd be haunted for years
so far away from our lives
It's so hard to conceive
Skeletal Children
How could this be

Wouldn't you love to feed the World
This problem still remains
Change the lives of all those boys and girls
And make them feel the same
Just like you and me

No laughing just crying
No skipping just dying
No sharing just needing
No food no feeding

This is not an advert
This is not a plea
This is just the way it is
does it have to be
it really shouldn't be
