Helplessness

I felt my heart sink
On looking at those homeless kids
I felt it gut-wrenching
On hearing the terrifying cries of anguish
I spent my nights sleepless
On pondering over the plight of this land
I had my brain clueless
On trying to figure out where this is all headed to
I failed to find hope
For everything is scarier now
I held my head low
On finding myself helpless
