Step back

for every glass of water we drink
A child is thirsty
For every game we buy
a woman is on the game to survive
For every phone we use
A man slaves in a factory on a tenth of the minimum wage
for every luxury top we buy
Small children labour in the fields to harvest the raw materials
I'm not saying I'm perfect
I'm so far from it
All I say is try to step back
every once in a while
Look at all we have and how less some others do
Would it really make a difference
If we were charitable once in a while
Would we really suffer?
We could help a life
Help a family
We could even save a life
surely thats got to worth more
than all the materialistic things in the world
If the spirit of love and giving isn't above all then what hope do we really have..?
