Awake
on the right side of the dirt
what could it hurt
to openmy eyes
before me a picture
one of sadness
the homeless
the working poor
the children with dirt upon their faces
in tattered clothing
I see distended bellies
malnutrition taking its toll
this is supposed to be
the worlds greatest nation
we see those who will not work
and there are those who can not help themselves
but it is the children who suffer most
they deserve better
I often wonder
and I know I wouldn't change things
could I stop the hurt inside
if I were to awaken on the other side
