Despair in the streets
Yet hope in their eyes
So many stories
Yet free of disguise
Lost were the jobs
Families and homes
Bound by faith
Feel not alone
Gone are the comforts
Self worth defined
Appear having nothing
Life rebuilt over time
Judged by others
Stand in line they do
Know not their story
Never walked in their shoes
Turn away quickly
Spare change have you none
Priceless the gift
Witness the rising sun
Appreciate all
Taken for granted so much
One life changed
Another hands touch
Proud are they not
Discouraged may be
Our future, our demise
What will you see?
