today I got stopped by a homeless man
needing a helping hand
gave him a few bucks, told him I understand
it saddend my heart as I got in my car, I had to stop and pray
glanced accross the street at the park where the children play
drug debris, trash and glass were everywhere,does anyone care?
why do the children have to play in a park that adults would fear?
across the street the corner was filled with teenage boys
talking loud, being ignorant making noise
blocking the entrance to the chinese store
degrading a girl passing by, calling her a whore
the worst part is that she stopped and gave one her number
I stared in disbelief and began to wonder
a neighborhood with such neglect
young boys with no respect
young girls with no self esteem or self respect
Am I the only one this bothers, what the heck?
