Forsaken
I see them walking down the street,
looking for change so they can eat.
I dodge their gaze so I won't see
the pain their eyes convey to me.
Their starving hearts reach out for help,
shunned by those who love only wealth.
Forsaken by all who walk past,
they start to lose their hope so fast.
What happened to the kind and just?
For all I see is greed and lust.
So now I feel that I must change
the world into a better place.
looking for change so they can eat.
I dodge their gaze so I won't see
the pain their eyes convey to me.
Their starving hearts reach out for help,
shunned by those who love only wealth.
Forsaken by all who walk past,
they start to lose their hope so fast.
What happened to the kind and just?
For all I see is greed and lust.
So now I feel that I must change
the world into a better place.
