Aid rage n' see (agency)

If music is the food of love

Then sing to my soul, the dove

Of peace is the only tune we need

To hear. But the world bleeds

Tears instead. Nations

Want donations

Yet they pay for nuclear weapons.

As Haiti waits to be wetted on

In the rainy season and God forbid

Tent cities are got rid

Of by hurricanes. Yes I still call

On every one and all

To give to families still suffering.

But this year has seen me questioning

How my money gets spent.

Is it lining pockets or making a dent

Where it’s most in need.

Parents plead

To help children survive

And we have to act, that can’t be denied.

One to one we’re the people on earth,

Politics and nations have no worth,

They’re just designed to destroy unity

Of our species. The difficulty

Is unravelling our differences. It’s a shame

We can’t seem to embrace each other as the same.

I’ve got to be honest when I saw aid still boxed

On a Port Au Prince runway, the Red made me Cross.

Sending money to the D.E.C.

Now makes me uneasy.

Our responsibility shouldn’t now stop at making that donation.

We have to hound the politicians and aid organisations

To prove accountability for what they’ve got.

We must ignite hope for those they forgot.

Light a fire under government inaction and fan it.

Fight for our one family, on this, our one planet.
