A PICTURE OF OUR WORLD


Middle - aged man seeks out garbage
Eating leftovers on the crowded sidewalk
An old woman stands on the busy street
Holds out her hands for money
In every stopping cars by the traffic light

Is this the world that we live in?
Are we too poor to feed ourselves?

A boy in his early twenty hanging out
with his gang
Each night high on dope and alcohol
Screaming and bitching
every passer - bys
A teenage girl stands by the street corner
With little clothes on,
sells her body to the highest bidder

Is this the life that we want?
Are we too rich to spoil our youth?
