Listening To a Man

Listening To A Man I listen to you talk You are so intelligent You know about life There is not a problem you cannot solve I have never met a mind like yours Still you live on the streets Begging for pennies Longing to a simple bologna sandwich No one will help you Your family turned their backs on you Their houses are closed to someone like you The government ignores you It spends millions on a cup of coffee But they cannot help you find a home You are alive but not allowed to live Still as long as you have your mind you have a life Someday someone will notice you They will talk to you Listen you what you have to say Even for a moment you will be important Once again you will be a man Someone who has the knowledge to save the world All it takes is someone to listen
