Hopeless or Helpless 8/16/05

So many things today ways to change we can not imagine
To top the list there's too much war and too much famine.

We feel helpless to fight either one
We feel it's hopeless these things have won.

If we'd stop the war and spend the money on hunger
Would things in the world improve, I wonder.

I know when my life hunger controlled,
I fought like crazy for the little I had to hold.

Is war not the same, except for the number?
The loss of what they're fighting for, would turn their world asunder.
