Dark Scenario
It is growing dark now
The air outside is cold
It is near the end of a winter day
Inside I'm warm
I have shelter
unlike the many homeless
I see on the street
and in subway tunnels
It's a sad commentary
on our society
which lets people live on the street
where they can get
hypothermia
due to weather conditions
Our city should open
its heats to the
homeless
There are some city residents with
great wealth
and some who have almost nothing
A rather sad state of affairs don't you think?
Maybe the situation will change
one day
But for now
We are caught in the web
Of a civilization without pity
