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.
