see the child who's hungry
in need of being fed
see the mother hungover
can't get out of bed
wish you could knock on the door
with some milk, a box of cheerios
a cup of coffee and a couple of
no doze
hoping they got a spoon and a bowl
people think they know
but they don't
we all are
capable of making a change
will we, just
talk about what we gone do
but do nothing
quick to call the police
coz, someone disturbed
our peace
all we had to do was just
go back to sleep
dream of tranquility
ain't no cure like a dose
of humility
to humble us up to reality
walking around ten toes down
like we're stuck in the ground
there will always be problems
it's in us to solve them
if you don't know what to do
do nothing
in time pain will pass
pour some juice in a glass
think about the child who
had his/her last day on earth
defected by birth
neglected and worse
in school having violent
outburst
diagnosed
ADHD
drawing social security
completely unattended too
just trying to
draw your attention to
the need, the crying, the issue
