HUMANITY?

My hands are unclean

My clothes are shabby

You pass me on the streets

Not even a penny

You frown your face

and turn your head

I go unnoticed and when i eat

It's from the garbage heap

I am judged and ignored

And when I beg frowned upon

I guess you've never been hungry

Or punished by poverty

The fact that you are what you eat

Comes from the source

Who definitely sees us

lying on street corners

Yet you simply pass by

In your fancy heels; fancy suits

Passing me here on Charlotte street

Where is humanity?

Where is the so called love?

Where is sweet T & T?
