Down and Out

The cracks that people fall through are the cracks that can be filled
By those of us who care enough for those down and out and ill
Don’t wait around for politics government or laws
For they are not interested in anything but waging bloody wars
So spare a thought for those who live in alleys and doorways
Because therefore the grace of God go we in so many ways
So next time you see some one who is down and out of luck
Look them in the eye and say I am here to help you up.
