We live in an age and time where poor people are invisible
A world where the homeless are pushed to one side
We live in an age of money and possessions
Where being human doesn’t seem to count for much
Rich people pass the homeless in their big cars
Blind to these people on the street
How is it there can be so much poverty
In such an advanced society
How can we not feel ashamed this occurs
In place of so much obscene wealth
Why is it people can’t afford decent food
To ensure their continued good health
Why is it we think it’s all just fine
Going through life living this big lie
Why should anybody have to suffer in this life
When there is so much to go around
Why is it people have to little to eat
In a world of such gross obesity
We should feel ashamed
We should see this as wrong
And to bring a change about
Just don’t leave it too long
For people are dying because nobody cares enough
To force a change within society.
