...a selfish america

walking through garbage filled streets.
humans rummaging and houses crumbling.
america passes it by...
walk to the diner and pretend nothings wrong.
as they lie on the streets with their blankets and bags
a simple life, simply sleeping.
america passes it by...
with our grocery filled hands all to ourselves.
home is where the heart is, whether its safe or not.
sprawled out on a concrete walkway or on a mountain of rubbish.
mother and child.
baby and brother.
sweetly staring, sweetly smiling.
america passes it by...
send a hello their way and keep walking
"sour sdei" is all.
lack of food, lack of love.
hair turning read, starvation sets in.
why does america pass it by?
with our SUV's and mansions.
with our style and fashions.
while children are starving and mothers are wailing.
women working the streets, children stolen everyday.
america, stop passing it by!
