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
