What will they say? Obama? McCain?
about the state of poverty, here? around the world?
what would they do? to make a difference?
to change the world?
Will they speak boldly? against the injustice?
the unfairness? Will they really fight?
so all will know plenty? that none will starve?
to change the world?
Shouldn’t we demand it? That now is the time?
that millennia of injustice must end?
that we have the means in this time?
to change the world?
