[bodytext] => I NEED TO KNOW…(©Peter Sprenkeler)
I don't care how much money, You do or don't earn. I need to know of your soul, For humanity…does it burn? I don’t care about the value, Of your property and land. I need to know of your heart, Against injustice…will it stand? I don’t care about your much prized, Status and power. I need to know of your conscience, Is it dead…or does it flower? I don't care about your 'trappings', Wealth, agendas or time. I need to know of your mind…do you still consider, Starvation to be a humanitarian crime? I don't care how much 'influence' you have, Well 'in' with the upper 'set'. I need to know of your spirit…does it sob with remorse, Does all inhumanity…fill you with remorse and regret? I don't care about your excuses, You just never seem to have the time. I need to know of your nature…do you care for family? For all people are family…and members of yours and mine.
