Head Down

Starving children In 3rd world Countries. Hospitalized patents Waiting patiently while you Have your head down In the sand. A temper like an Inferno. Words like a Snake's bite, Damage like A cliff dive. But you Have your head down, Down in the sand Love of the wrong Kind. Addiction to a force that no one Understands. but you Persist to have your Head in the sand Corruption comes with Power; or power With the ladder. Country's Have all done wrong, so why just blame one? But you don't mind that because your heads in the sand. With the seriousness Of an illness, Curse of addiction, grip of hunger or The sting of venom. Man will always Lift their head from the sand.
