"The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just." - Abraham Lincoln
What Can I Do?
What can I do?
I'm just one man
I'd like to make you see
I'd like to make you care
About the ones who've been killed
And the ones who've lost their homes,
Their families,
Their livelihoods
I'd like to make you care
About the women-
Little girls who've been raped
Just to bring them shame
Just to bring them pain
I'd like to make you care
About the children who were burned
Alive… now gone
While their mothers watched
While their fathers watched
In absolute and brutal agony
In complete and total helplessness
Can you fathom that?
I'd like to make you care
About the millions who now run
In fear, they run
For their safety, they run
For their lives, they run
Food is as silver
Water is as gold...
...scarce, and treasured when in supply
They haven't much to keep them going?
Yet they run
From their own lands, they run
From their own peoples, they run
From their own government
Yes! Their own government
The ones who've wrought this pain
They run
And they run
I'd like to make you feel
The shear heartache that I feel
As I ponder all of these things
As I tremble in horror
As I write these very words
I'd like to understand
How anyone can not feel
The sorrow that I feel
That makes one want to scream
That makes one want to cry
That makes one want to stand
That brings the realization of the urgency to
act
I'd like to understand
How we can all sit back
And let it all go on
And let it all go on
And it all goes on
And on
I'd like to hold the power
To make you feel what I feel
But my words seem to lack the power
To make you want to shout,
Cry,
Stand,
Act
At times I feel as if it's all a waste of
breath
But I remember why I began to speak
For those who die
For those who cry
And I make it my final decision
Yes! My final answer
That I will continue to speak
Until I know that you've tired of hearing me
speak
And when I can see that you've tired of
hearing me speak
I will continue to speak
Until the day…
Millions of innocent people are dying. Become informed today and save a life.
"I've gone everywhere, trying to stop many atrocities: Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia. The least I can do is show the victims that they are not alone. When I went to Cambodia, journalists asked me, What are you doing here? This is not a Jewish tragedy. I answered, When I needed people to come, they didn't. That's why I am here."
-Elie Wiesel
I have no doubt that faith is only pure when it does not negate the faith of another. I have no doubt that evil can be fought and that indifference is no option. I have no doubt that fanaticism is dangerous. And of all the books in the world on life, I have no doubt that the life of one person weighs more than them all.
-Elie Wiesel
