Where has the real justice gone from this world That those who were not able have been lost We leave all our neighbors in bitter cold Forgetting to give for fear of the cost So much pain comes from those that we could save Yet we focus on ourselves, our comfort We have been learning to waste all our days And to sleep instead of staying alert People are constantly dying alone Without friend or family to miss them Cannot a little friendliness be shown To those given nothing and were condemned We pluck flowers, stopping them from their growth They'll die without living, and die alone

A Lack of Justice
Where has the real justice gone from this world That those who were not able have been lost We leave all our neighbors in bitter cold Forgetting to give for fear of the cost So much pain comes from those that we could save Yet we focus on ourselves, our comfort We have been learning to waste all our days And to sleep instead of staying alert People are constantly dying alone Without friend or family to miss them Cannot a little friendliness be shown To those given nothing and were condemned We pluck flowers, stopping them from their growth They'll die without living, and die alone
