Sometimes I wonder
About the state of things
It is my opinion
That no one
Should ever
Have to worry
About sitting out
In the cold
Sitting out in the rain
Sitting without food
Without a name
Without a voice
Living from day to day
Not knowing when
Their next meal will come
When there is more than enough
For people to have
There are more than enough homes
That are sitting
That are not being used
There is more than enough clothes
There is more than enough food
There is more than enough space
There is more than to give every one a share
If we just gave what we had
Instead of hoarding it
We spend so much time
Trying to separate ourselves
From the people
From the pain of the world
People are crying out
They are crying out for justice
People want to be free
Free to dream without persecution
To feel like their lives actually mean something
To not have to want
To not have to worry
To be able to live in abundance
Sharing and giving ourselves
And living in harmony
And communion
With each other
And with the Earth
