the homeless in our land

The homeless in our land

There are many in the cities

We can see them loitering around

Begging for alms with their sorrowful faces


The generous public will give

The homeless will survive for a day

Some have to fast for no food

Water they can find it from petrol stations


Yet our social government officials aren't walking

They expect people to walk in and ask

Can you help me with my problem?”

Most of the times the public will highlight it


Our NGOs?

They want publicity

Without it nothing will come willingly

Only a few committed to serve and help


Our politicians?

They want what they can get

Fighting for the poor and marginalized?

Only when elections are called


Ordinary people like us

We can shout and complain

We hope to make an impact

End of the day the red tape rules
