A Street In Every Town and City

there is a street in every town and city that society observes with empty pity as they pass by without any actual care while they enjoy their materialistic share ''glad it's not me'' they say as they walk away ''not my problem'' ''I can't help them!'' ''have no time today'' they do not know real truth of the street as they see children running in bare feet blaming drugs and alcohol as the reason when really it may be some other treason ''they’re lazy scum'' they say as they look away ''such a problem'' ''not helping them!'' ''have no time today'' some in the street have been unfortunate possibilities in life have never been great and others had difficulties to be educated as society comprehensions are exaggerated ''a waste of taxes'' they say as they frown away ''what a problem'' ''don't help them!'' ''have no time today'' everyone in the street scarcely can exist as the avariciousness of society persist the everyday struggle can take it's toll while the negativeness continues to roll ''don't need them'' they say as they hide away ''annoying problem'' ''why help them?!'' ''have no time today'' if only society can walk down the street to really understand it all in a heartbeat maybe things would be improved for all c'mon society it's up to you, it's your call ''let's all unite'' I do say not running away ''fix the problem'' ''we can help them!'' ''have time today''
