We All Cry Together

A man walks by

asks for your change

you look at him

with pure destain

You dont look back

as you walk by

and for you now

i'll surely cry.

That man can't help

what he became

but it's of you

that i'm ashamed.

You've let your heart

turn from us all

like those before

you made your call.



A kid abused asks you for help

you turn your face away

that one decision casts his fate

proclaims his final day

A child now is quickly gone

he lies upon his back

and we all cry together

for the compassion that you lack.

That child couldn't save himself

though he did the best he could

you did the very thing

that I preyed you never would.

Your lost to us, your lost to you

you hates taken control of you.

It's such a shame that a lot of people are like this. They only care about them selves and not the people around them that are less fortunate. Great job, I really like this poem!!!
