Across the Street

Man live by the power He sees more power now Many have power to leave He powers himself up Powered by the courage He ponder all the opportunities Opportunities that were bestowed The opportunities he never took Across the street he sees many Across those tamed streets He sees life taken to him As a dog bark for food He looks in despair and shame As a rat caught on a trapped He wants to fly like a free bird Across the street is his home A home shares with thousands He wants to go back to that simple home A home that he will find joy There across the street he lay dead Dead of cold winter and shame Today he shall find joy The only joy he long for years.
