A Tale of Two Voices

    In the midst of a desert
      a voice cries out
    Woe to him who snubs
      a hungry hand held out

    On a crowded subway platform
      a different voice rings true
    Hand over your wallet, sir
      ~ If you value your life, you do

Reminds me of the song by The Jam, ‘Down In The Tube Station At Midnight’. Don’t know if The Jam ever cracked America but it’s a tremendous song, well worth a Google… Enjoyed this muchly.
