The boy wear eyes
that sadden the heart.
His face is battered,
clothes torn apart.
Fear is written all over his face,
there is no safety
in this perilous place.
The streets have hurt him,
have left him alone.
He has no one,
nowhere to go,
and nowhere to stay.
The girl is crying,
she doesn't understand
how hearts can harden
in this Promise Land.
The look at her,
yet through her.
Never a consoling face
does she encounter.
The streets left her
to fend on her own.
She has no one,
nowhere to go,
and nowhere to stay.
They stand together,
yet they stand alone.
Living in the streets,
the place they call home.
Begging for money
and stealing things to eat.
Running from others
to avoid being beaten.
Their only emotion is anger,
and it runs through their veins.
Passersby just ignore
and call them insane.
All they need is compassion
and love.
They need help from you
let love rain from above.
They need someone,
somewhere to go,
and somewhere to stay.
