BUT WHAT DO THEY REALLY NEED? by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)


Look around and see those desolated faces,
 Walk around to witness what they are facing,
Play your part to understand what they are saying,
For within them cover difficulty cases,
Which only need a word to embrace a solution,
As many are dying because of no consolation.

Then, we ought to live to know that majority
Will be glad, to receive graces vibrating from our maturity,
Expected to arrive with love, to all tribes and nations  
Knowing that many do not need our material acquisitions
But only a consoling word and a fraternal approach,
That they may ever stand before a screen, and give the world a nice watch.

Please, there is no time but now,
Forget shows of tomorrow and let us do our best now,
For tomorrow is far to be seen
Which may arrive and offer what we have not expected and seen,
So, let us unfold and live our true human now,
And get ready to truly wipe our fellows’ tears now.

Today, let us not forget
Focusing on our greater target,
Which is nothing but achieving a beatific vision
Through a real commitment to our earthly mission
By offering love to people known and unknown
Without struggling for earthly rewards on sacrifices sown.
