HELP

 

                                        HELP

Help - connotation

Why does such a pertinent expression

vary when spoken with emotion?

Individually, all have utilized this word

crying out loud, or aiding, in our troubled world.

Help - health

A poignant challenge requesting an ambulance

urgent medical care, tests loved one’s patience,

pandemic drastic, due to chronic lack of staff

emergency departments bereft of skilled craft.

Help - safety

Promenades, beaches, parks, streets, be alert

life’s paramount, avoid a vicious crime or pervert,

whatever your age, gender, gangs with knives kill,

dastardly assault females, rape, for sexual thrill.

Help - volunteers

Globally, thousands aid less fortunate

inundated, impossible to contain at this date,

charities, wellbeing groups, willingly contribute

caring for humans, with diabolical attributes.

 

HELP - “me if you can” The Beatles - today so poignant.
