Is This What We Really Do
What are you doing?
Don't do that!
Don't give it money
It lives on the street.
I hate to see these no-hopers
No shoes on their feet!
It's puts me off my coffee and my tasty sweet!
They make me feel uncomfortable when they don't even have food to eat!
I bet his story is so pathetic, so young but giving up on life?
Well NO not really, he's just lost his wife!
Well NO not really, his friends are all dead!
Well NO not really, he's limping badly because he got shot in the leg!
WELL NO NOT REALLY, HE'S FOUGHT IN A WAR!!!!
Come home to be cast out because he's different from before!
He risked his life trying to fight for your freedom and rights while you sat on your backside!
You owe him your tasty little sweet, your coffee and so much more beside!
