Crossed

There is a fine line
It's many crossed
Doesn't matter who you are.

Give and take
That's how it should be

When given the chance
To prove worthy 
When given
They just take take take.

The cycle ends there.

What we don't see
The cycle spinning
Those giving
Those taking 
But those who give get in 
return
And those who take give in 
return.

For many
The attention has to be on 
them.
Always what they need, want, 
have.
Never what could be given 
back.

It's a line ignored
Sometimes abused
A line most refuse to walk.

Every day more and more
Cross over the line
Every day more and more 
Less unfortunate suffer the 
consequence.

When will this line become 
whole again
When will people open their 
hearts
To more then themselves
When will respect for people 
Be given back to everyone and 
not the few.

Some wish when will soon 
come
But no matter what 

There is a fine line 
It's many crossed
Doesn't matter who you are.
