The World Yesterday.
November 15, 2013
"I sit and think,
think of the beggars on the street.
Sitting there freezing, and in distress.
Holding cups to the rich,
cups that say, "Change."
Have you ever sat and thought,
maybe he doesn't want, "Change" for alcohol.
Change for drugs.
Change for thrills.
Change for crime.
But perhaps change in ways.
Change in values.
Change in society.
Change in rules.
Change in Government."
