Help Save A Child's Life Today Poem by RIC BASTASA

Help Save A Child's Life Today



this little girl has kinky hair
black is the color of her skin
almond eyes that speak
and small hands and
short arms

the ad says,
help save a child's life today

and i read it silently.
i ask myself, honestly, please do not brand
me as racist

is there such a white child
who can say, 'Help me! '

i am just wondering.
and what about the brown child in Asia?
