to have a full stomach
to eat a full meal
to drink a full bottle
to have a hospital
and a school
a vehicle
mobility
education
medicine
health
the amount of guilt I have
for having basic human rights
when they have nothing
to go to bed believing
that I will be able to hug my parents
and get to tell them I love them
a thousand more times
to wake up in the morning
knowing I have a full day planned
rather than wondering
if it will be my last
I get to have something
when I did not do anything to deserve it
they do not get to have anything
when I am no more worthy than them
how can one life get so much
and another get so little
who gets to decide why
they do not deserve anything
who gets to label them terrorists
when they are just children
with sore bellies
praying for help
desperately
while the whole world
is silent
