Every day people living in poverty
living on the street with nothing to eat they sit and hope and believe
because life's been unkind and so have we
poverty no longer an anomaly,a daily occurence
how can you not see that these kids are scared
angers flared why the hell do we not care
we walk past carry on our daily tasks
when these kids are waiting for their fate
rotting into a skin and bones carcass
we still don't donate
a rupee a day to poverty aid
just enough to keep these kids sane
and help them dump the shame and forget the abuse
that they've been through
sleeping on a bench, tree for shelter
kids not even teens sitting on their own
or in their mums arms scared to death equipt with firearms
fake a false smile cus they ain't charmed when we walk past
all they want is one blessing
for us to give to UNICEF
it's a test they'd rather be arrested than be depressed
on the street with cuts across their chest
cold with no shoes on their feet
nothing to eat and nowhere to sleep.
