LOOK AT MISERY IN THE EYES

by alain camara © 2007

Don't let your heart become hard
don't be a coward
look at misery straight in the eyes
the hopeless straight in the eyes
the homeless straight in the eyes
the fatherless straight in the eyes
the motherless straight in the eyes
the oppressed straight in the eyes
the depressed straight in the eyes
the drunkard straight in the eyes
the beggar straight in the eyes
the widow straight in the eyes
the hungry straight in the eyes
the sick straight in the eyes
the lonely straight in the eyes
the poor straight in the eyes
the abused straight in the eyes
the maimed straight in the eyes
the naked straight in the eyes
the drug addict straight in the eyes
the alcoholic straight in the eyes
the persecuted straight in the eyes
and see if those longing and convicting eyes won't tell something to your soul
something that maybe you shun to hear
something like "HELP"
