The Way

The way they live, eat, and dress

It's sad to look, for you do not care

I like to look because I truly care

Do you ever think of those people? I do.

 

Watching them steal or beg for a dollar or two.

You walk right by pretending not to see

But you know that you saw them, yet you still do nothing

Do you ever think of those people? I do.

 

Are they so filthy that it's disgusting to look at?

No they are not. You just feel that way towards them.

They are people just like us, having families, past or living

Do you ever think of those people? I do.

 

Start caring. For their future good or bad,

Can just very well lie in your hands.
