Cardboard City
Cardboard City, a place of fear
Loneliness and terror always near.
The wind echoes all around
People so scared, make not a sound.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
People look on, but from the inside.
Amongst the fear are drugs and violence,
Some spend their lives living in silence.
Begging and scrounging, all for a feed,
Amongst the riches of capitalist greed.
Runaway or throwaway, they are all the same
Some only identified by a made up name.
Hope of a future, a lifetime away
Nothing but fear in the life of a stray.
