As they sit here today,
unwanted and under appreciated.
wishing they had more.
realize what you truly have.

they struggle for something important,
while you already have it,
struggling for good food and water,
while you get yours in 10 seconds.

understand that,
others aren't as privileged as you,
they reach drastic measures,
while you don't have to.

you waste the things,
they always dreamed for.
you grow picky,
while they eat anything.

dirty water and infested food,
tears run down their faces,
they want to be appreciated,
they want to be privileged.

thank God and your family for what you have today,
stop taking life for granted,
you can easily lose your health,
and the insight of others.

yet,
they show an expression,
of saturnine.

Author's Note: I hope you realize people in Africa aren't as privileged as you, they deserve more. While they struggle for things needed for life, yours is handed to you. Don't take life and things for granted, learn the value of what you have. To you, your things aren't perfect, or aren't our exact qualifications, while to them, anything meets theirs.
