Help America's Poor

by Dave Deal

You’ve never been alone like this
How will you fill the day?
You have to find some shelter from the night
A cardboard box could be your bed
You’d give it up for a piece of bread
You watch as raindrops fall and you wonder, is this right

Try not to think tomorrow brings
The same unhappiness
Thoughts flash through your mind of suicide
Shake your head- don’t think that way
Your body tells you, another day
Has passed you by; nothing to eat; another day denied

But we still need to feed the folks in Africa
And Mexico needs money for their poor
So busy saving half the world 
But we won't even help our own
Please, Mr. President, could you open up some doors
Help America’s poor
