A Street In Every Town and City
there is a street in every town and city
that society observes with empty pity
as they pass by without any actual care
while they enjoy their materialistic share
''glad it's not me'' they say
as they walk away
''not my problem''
''I can't help them!''
''have no time today''
they do not know real truth of the street
as they see children running in bare feet
blaming drugs and alcohol as the reason
when really it may be some other treason
''they’re lazy scum'' they say
as they look away
''such a problem''
''not helping them!''
''have no time today''
some in the street have been unfortunate
possibilities in life have never been great
and others had difficulties to be educated
as society comprehensions are exaggerated
''a waste of taxes'' they say
as they frown away
''what a problem''
''don't help them!''
''have no time today''
everyone in the street scarcely can exist
as the avariciousness of society persist
the everyday struggle can take it's toll
while the negativeness continues to roll
''don't need them'' they say
as they hide away
''annoying problem''
''why help them?!''
''have no time today''
if only society can walk down the street
to really understand it all in a heartbeat
maybe things would be improved for all
c'mon society it's up to you, it's your call
''let's all unite'' I do say
not running away
''fix the problem''
''we can help them!''
''have time today''
