Lest We Suffer

Low I go to sleep under my filthy bridge

The gap between you and I the gap that cant be filled

You see me on the street everyday yet ignore me

I suffer the starvation that humanity has forced upon me

 

Everyone says they want to do something about the homeless

Why not just do what Rudy Juliane did

Put us all in jail

Why suffer us yet another empty day

 

When you lay down your weary head

You dont think of us the ones you dont see

Oh you see us with your eyes

But you ignore us by your deed

 

Some of the homeless may have chosen to be ware they are

Some did not

For those whom did not you see them as the bain of humanity

You see them as the gum on the bottom of your shoe

 

Something to scrape off on the curb and be forgotten

Something to be discarded in the refuse container

Something that you think really isnt there

Something you can only hope to cast out with disdain

 

Low I go to sleep under my filthy bridge

Suffer the starvation that humanity has forced upon me

Suffer another empty day

Low I go to sleep under my filthy bridge

Low I go to sleep under my filthy bridge

 

Suffer me humanity, Suffer Me humanity, Suffer Me Humanity

SUffer ME HUmanity, SUFfer ME HUManity, SUFFer ME HUMANity

SUFFEr ME HUMANIty, SUFFER ME HUMANITy, SUFFER ME HUMANITYYYYYYYYY
