What Is This World Coming To?

Mother never told me how cruel this world could be
Just look around you, and you can see
Everyone looking for a better way of life
But all they find is a world full of strife

What ever happened to helping your fellow man?
Can't you see some of us need a helping hand?
Why must everyone kick us when we are down?
Do they feel like a bigger man to see us on the ground?

Offer a helping hand to those in need
You will have a wonderful feeling indeed
Helping those in need is its own reward
Come on people, don't be a coward.

Help others when you can
Show the world you are the better man
Helping others doesn't make you weak
For one day, you maybe in need of the help others now seek.
