Stranger Walking By


The empty waters

The empty stomachs

The tears of strangers and neighbors

Thirst, hunger and anger tattooed on their faces

Why?

Oh, why? Oh, why?

They pled and beg for food, for water

But no one cares

People walk by claiming that they are unaware

But they know and they see, but they just don’t care

Give a little

Just don’t walk by, donate to organization if you think they are telling a lie

Because you will never know that you might be them in a day-or-two.
