Hunger on the Street

Hunger on the street

Forget hope, no great expectation

Impoverished poverty, too poor to buy meat.

Forget hope, no great expectation

The cries filled the air

Forget love, no reason for consideration

Pain at large, with no one to care

Forget love, no reason for consideration

This world was once so dim

Forget faith, no divinity worth believing in.

Stopped eating, was getting too slim

Forget faith, no divinity worth believing in

However the truth is,

There was never a time when things were too tough

Forget uncertainty, you brought us hope

For what little we have, is more than enough

 Forget uncertainty, you brought us hope.

Disparity never reared its ugly face,

Forget anger, you brought us love

Every tear was always followed by your embrace     

Forget anger, you brought us love

Things are only getting better

Forget doubt, you brought us faith

One by one, I read each red letter

Forget doubt, you brought me faith
