Truth

It's true to say
I can't understand
What it's like to struggle
In another land

A conceptual view
Entirely created
By all I've experienced
Pieced together, collated

Not only that
But I could change street
Find hardships unfathomable
No money to eat

Whilst I sit here
Spend money on a whim
If only I understood
I'd give my money to them

But often a barrier
Exists in the brain
Desensitises, closes off
From feeling stranger's pain

Our eyes sometimes open
Overwhelmed by what we see
We give, we weep, we try, knowing 
But for the grace of God goes me
