How is our child doing?
Asian journalist, did you feed her today?
African businessman, did you read to him?
American actress, did you brush his teeth?
Australian teacher, did you tuck him into bed?
Did you show her how to find her voice?
Is he learning how to walk like a man?
Who am I?
Am I rich Uncle Sam?
has lots of money.
never visits.
never calls.
has a house.
a car.
eats donuts and jelly beans.
sunglasses that could buy a month of food.
Is that me?
please no
How is our child doing?
Does he have clean water?
Are both her parents alive?
Will she face a preventable disease?
Has he been told about his maker?
may i never think so highly of myself
may i never fall into indifference
may i remember the powerless
may i stand against injustice
may i pray to the Lord of the harvest
to send His workers
send His church
send me
