I am tired of the erudite
Making all the claims
Having many answers
Appealing to their friends
Questions never answered
About deaths in Nigeria
Infants starving
Christians denied in Algeria
Killed world over, 17 a day
Iran’s influence in Syria,
Lebanon, and Iraq
They have answers about
Building our southern wall
Opinions on how bad we are
Point to pictures years old
They must have their say
These important people
When confronted with the truth
They smile as they walk away
The Pope has his own way
He speaks and points and
Scurries, taking no action
People starving and sick
The world over, while
We could feed and clothe them
If only someone cared
We see pictures of sad eyes
Know of mothers who exist on hope
The mess our world is in
Because dictators mislead
Saying one thing for applause
Then denying their people
The erudite have no cause
