Do You Understand?

Listen!

Do you hear that?

The laughter floating

About the

Winds.

Look!

Do you see that?

The smiling people

Who seem so

Content.

Now,

Go deeper.

Think.

Look!

Do you see that?

The people

Sleeping

On the

Streets.

Listen!

Do you hear that?

The cries for

Help

That seem to

Fade.

For every

G o o d

Thing,

There's a

B a d

Trailing close

Behind.
