CONVICTION
Trekking through this barren land
No food to eat all is sand,
Looking into her baby’s eyes
Pleading for food before he dies
An exodus of people side by side
Unrelenting Sun, no where to hide
No Shelter as far as the eye could see
O dear God! Such misery
Where is our conscience and why can’t we see?
Whilst living in luxury and fantasy,
Combined efforts can alleviate misery
By simply deleting the unnecessary
Pangs of hunger pines the inside
As the world looks on far and wide,
Destitute and hurting in forlorn
Yet our hearts do not mourn!

We can give without loving but we can’t love without giving. In the like manner we can have courage without conviction but we cannot have conviction without courage. Courage allows us to become cognizant of the suffering of people’s predicament, but conviction inspires us to lend a helping hand!
