Array ( [sid] => 37821 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Give a hug [time] => 2004-03-08 13:08:42 [hometext] => I hear their voices crying out to mankind from all corners; and even along bushpaths... they are babies suffering from starvation, HIV/AIDS and abuse. I hear their voices.. all you are expected to offer is a hug. Can you? [bodytext] => ‘please give me a hug’
I hear this voice whisper out…

That must be whispers from a dying child
Begging mankind to turn her deathly plight
Begging you to lend your crumb of mercy
So her dying world may be turned around.

‘please give a hug’
The pleas keep coming…

Who is this crying child?
Could it be the abandoned love
From man’s endless wars
Or
The dark clouds swirling
Over the crude hearts of men;
Or
Could it be the baby
Abandoned to rot away
Under the tree of negligence
Planted at the lawns of fate.

‘please I need your hug’
I hear this voice
Across the city’s subway
I hear it like a subtle anger
A whisper roaring in my mind…
Do you also hear this whisper?

Good write... powerful write... it makes one think about how to help those crying out... how to lend a hand... to change it... it must start with the man in the mirror... within yourself!
