Go Where They Need You Poem by Tawia Tsekumah

If you build houses,

Go where there is homelessness.

If you are a healer,

Go where there is illness.

If you can teach,

Go where there is ignorance.

If you can preach,

Go where there is immorality.

If you can lead,

Go where there is indiscipline.

If you can sing,

Go where there is despair.

If you are rich,

Go where people are weak.

If you build bridges,

Go where the rivers are.

If you write,

Go where there is no truth.

The universe is waiting for your single act,

of kindness.
