Downtown

Downtown By Street Cries Its spring but I still feel a cold breez Phone in my hand feeling close to freez Buses passing by people walking afaid to say hi On the way to the day to day grind The homless looking for hope to find Instead they find dope and place to recline Sad faces with tormented mind Seems like no one cares about those left behind Seems like no one dares to lead them to sunshine It's not their affair as they continue with a ignoring stare Pretending to be unaware That its a human standing there With issues they can't seem to bear Driving by looking out of windshields no glare Wearing designer clothes no tear warm or cold air Right across the street where city officials and business owners meet Rangerovers and Cadillac with new feet Unable to see cause their vision is bleek Making million dallor decision with out a thought for homeless mothers and starving children Passion is lacking for those with drug habits So they get into expensive cars labeling them savage peace
