Mediocre and Insignificant

Tell me,
Of what good,
Is a single grain of rice,
For a man who hasn't eaten in 3 days,

Of what good,
Is a single drop of water,
For a thirsty camel in the desert,

Of what good,
Is a single penny,
For a man who has a wife and children,

Of what good,
Is a single principled politician,
In a house full of corrupt representatives,

Of what good,
Is a group of demonstrators,
Marching on as the traitors look on,

Tell me,
Isn't many the way to go,

Don't they say, The majority wins,
Don't they say, Unity is strength,

Isn't it time we united,

Isn't it time we refused,
To eat a grain of rice while we can get full plates,
To make our camels sip while they can drink to fill,
To take pennies for wages while we can get the bills,
To vote in crooks while we have men of principle,
To demonstrate while there are traitors watching,

It's time we got rid of Mediocrity and Insignificance.
