Here are some facts
Which make me feel quite sick
How can we go on
Without changing it?
One in eight people
On this planet of ours
Are malnourished and
At risk of being starved
Two million children will
Die of starvation this year
This could be stopped
If we showed we really care
It is not as IF
There's a food shortage
It just needs distributing
To the people in need
This year the UK
Is leading the G8
Now is the chance
To really make a change
We must stand up
And make our leaders hear
That we won't sit back
And let people live in fear
Policies need reviewing
There needs to be a change
Providing food for the hungry
We know it CAN be arranged

Today I've received emails from three organisations I support; world vision, one and tearfund. These are just three of nearly 100 charities in the UK that have joined together to make a difference to those in poverty with the IF campaign.
The IF campaign need us to support them in their desire to end world poverty, all they need is our support and our signatures. I've signed and now I've penned this for your information and enjoyment.
Please go and show your support as well
