Have a Heart

"Pull over, let's help him"

"Mum please!"

Plead two children

 

The mother continues

Driving an illogical speed for the city

 

Shaking her head

"We can't, we're late"

"And we have nothing to give"

Lies to her children

 

If she has nothing

Yet drives that car

Takes her children home,

to that house

 

Then what about the man

What does he posess

 

If money is nothing

Then what is something?

Happiness?

 

Does he look happy?

Hungry, tired, alone

Shivering in the cold

 

She carries on

So does he

Through ceaseless streets

And the pattern of life

 

Wakeup, look out
