The Only Thing I Can Do Is Write This Poem by Marinela Reka

When I look at the people on the street begging
I wish they had a better life and homes too
I give them anything I find in my pocket
There is nothing else I can possibly do

When I think about all the ill people in the world
My heart shrinks and gets small
And I pray for them to get better
There is nothing else I can do at all

I feel really sad and my heart becomes stone
When I see people injured in war or maybe dead
And I can’t do anything without getting involved
All I can do is, wish for the war to be over instead

When I see the old and poorly all alone inside
I wish I could have the ability to clone
So I can make thousands like myself
And stay with all of them so they wont feel alone

I don’t know what is wrong with this world
It has so much injustice and selfishness
I am powerless I cannot change it
The only thing I can do, is write this.
