Haven’t put anything up here for a while, so I thought I’d drudge up an old one:

Fix the World

The famine, the war, the hungry, the poor –

The picture of the little boy who

Had no clothes, his ribs exposed

Through taut skin, his arms so thin

He could have been a toy.

Another missing child, another tragedy,

Another quake, another flood, another million refugees.

And I sat and cried:

And G-d replied:

For I did what I should do,

I made a way to fix it
