We All Matter
Looking at us with the gesture of impudence
Seeing us often can't be an coincidence
Cup and sign in our hand, asking for help
Hungry, desperate and have not slept
Reached out to hug your family with a tenacious grip
Looking at us like we're contagious; hand over lip
Pass by quickly, nose in the air with a frown
Please, don't glare at us whilst we're down
So, don't patronize us with your dry, "Sorry"
Of course we don't matter; that's your story
Take time out to hear some of our stories
Many of our lives had plenty of glories
Frequent the area, get to know some or all us
Next time it can be a chat instead of disgust
Respect us, we respect you
We matter just as you do
Unity starts within the community
Love and compassion unite humanity!
