i stand and stare, fridge is bare
no carpet on the floor
washing soaked, heating broke
bailiffs at the door
roof is leaking, house is creaking
single dad, sad moaner
middle aged, without a wage
christmas round the corner
but.....
a little boy in india
not eaten for a week
no shirt upon his back....
a grin upon his cheek
he's never tasted biscuits
crisps, or orange squash
always wears a smile
but never clothes to wash
unaware of fridges
heating run on gas
never seen a carpet
school room or a class
materialistic ********
food that goes to waste
life we take for granted
he will never taste
happy ever grateful
for simple things of need
never witness our ****
of gluttoness and greed
