The world is a cut throat place
Everyone is out for themselves
Getting what they want
To make them succeed in life
Everyone walks down the street
Absorbed in their own worlds
Headphones in, world silenced out
Focusing on their next task
People sitting on the street
Holding signs saying please help
But no one looks their way
Ignoring the homeless and the hungry
We cannot continue like this
We need to stop and look around
To see the world around us
And reach out to those in need
