open your eyes you will feel

When you want to get a bearing

You don't have to travel to see

Right in your own backyard

Open your eyes and you will feel

How the old are left behind

The children gone leaving the nests

Leaving behind old parents

Visiting them as they like

Even if you go to hospitals

You will see the old are left alone

Fending for themselves or the nurses help

But we know about the nurses

Some nurses are good and kind

They will run their jobs with passion

Others are the little devils

They think the old should go

When you come from these homes

You will realize how society will treat

When you are old and poor

You will be left alone and despair
