Do you see what I see?
Do you see the children in the streets?
Living on the streets
With no father or mother?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see the poverty and hunger and illness
Rampant
And the people, not Westerners, but the fellow countrymen
And women
In India and Congo and Uganda and Afghanistan
That work to put an end
To the injustice
Do you see the what I see?
The world
With glimpses of its entirety
Beyond the shallow bubble of existence
In a land of milk and honey and comfort
That hides its own injustices
In a closet where nobody wants to look
And everyone knows of
But almost everyone ignores
And in amongst that hypocrisy
Do you see the people
Speaking out
And fighting for you to see
What they see
Do you see the people
Reaching out to those in need
In their families and their communities
Out of compassion
People who understand
Really understand
What it is to love
Because they choose love
In the face of apathy
Ignorance
Materialism
and Individualism
That is what I see
When I look outside my window
Is this what you see?
