Gift of Life

Some of us are able to give
Our surplus of life to help others live

To donate in life or death to another
We untether those bound by illness who suffer

Organ failure is a merciless beast
Gnawing away at the master, it eats

Consuming all that one may have
Until nothing is left, there is no more to give

Let us quell this relentless cur
And unbind the chains

That imprison the sick
Whose organs wane

The imbalance of supply and demand
Is unacceptable and can no longer stand

This is a call to arms, a rallying cry
To give life to those running out of time

Share what you have to give
Give the gift of life

This gift you can share
Saves many lives
