Night and Day
I sat at the window and what did I see?
~~~~~
New Year�s Eve and so many were out
~~~~~
The following morning at that same window, I sat
~~~~~
My heart went out to him and my eyes formed a tear
~~~~~
Song ~ Broken Spirit
Short and tall buildings of concrete jungle surrounding me.
What a sight! What a remarkable foundation
To be in the midst of a working man�s creation.
The atmosphere merry as passing people began to shout.
�Happy New Year!� as they celebrated in good cheer
Midnight upon us ... and the year 2002 is here.
Down below, an elderly man in a dumpster, was what I got to look at.
A feeling of sadness crept over me
What happened to this man who lives this life of poverty?
Is hunger and being homeless what he looks forward to this year?
I don�t understand why this has to be
Why can�t the world come together to set this misery free?
