STREET CHILD







































The world is changing, day by day,
And they're all struggling to survive.
Adapting, trying to find their own way - 
Just fighting to stay alive.

Determined to do what needs to be done -
All alone on this pale blue dot.
Their poor young lives, still barely begun -
All happiness nearly forgot.

Here we sit comfy, and complain of our lives,
While they lie in the streets and shiver.
We squander our riches - All deaf to their cries -
Smirking, as they slowly wither.
