Whose responsibility????

On this earth their is so much hurt and pain-it is so easy to shrug it off and say it isn't your responsibility, but really don't we all have a duty to alleviate as much suffering as we can?



I looked at all the caged animals in
the shelter
the cast -offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes
love and hope,
fear and dread,
sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible!
Why don't You do something?"
God was silent for a moment,
and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something," He replied.
"I created you."
