PUT THE WORLD ON PAUSE

 

Maybe some people are just having a bad day,

Or maybe they just need to feel wanted.

Perhaps their friends decided to ditch them,

Or maybe they're just being taunted;

But whatever the cause,

If the world was paused,

We could heal all these beings,

Like a wound wrapped in gauze,

Then there would be,

A much lesser fee,

To pay for not helping,

Everyone in need.
