Plain Curiosity

Sittin' in a rat-infested alley

Watchin' the bums parade past

Seein' em fillin' their shoppin' bags

With the upper middle-class trash

What a shame

To play that game

Seein' how the other side lives

Don't know why I am doin' this

What is wrong with me

What reason can there be

Plain curiosity

I really like this because it shows human curiosity,observatrion and feeling for both sides of the ledger of life.....It is also inspirational to writing a piece because it takes into account the heart of both sides and what they may be going through or thinking of each other...
