Constant Awareness

in constant awareness...
with every bite i take,
someone is hungry.
every night when i go to
sleep in my bed,
someone is homeless.
every time i speak out,
someone is oppressed.
every time i walk
down the street,
someone is imprisoned.
every time i open my eyes,
someone else is blinded.
every day that i live,
someone else is dying...
every time i know i am loved,
someone else is alone...

responsible!
