Where do we go from here?
Cold winters and warm summers
Howling winds and blazing heat
Endless days and everlasting nights
Scrambling for something to eat
Mothers with their children
Trying to make ends meet
Children with their mothers
Walking on their feet
How do people cope with,
Sleeping in the freezing cold?
How can people eat,
Food that’s old and growing mold?
Fathers they are crying
“Don’t let the sadness show”
People out their struggling
“We cannot let them know”
Bills go left unpaid
The rent too high to sustain
No food to fill the pantries
Stomachs growl in pain
Children they are playing
Unaware of the struggles they’re facing
Laughter, love, and family
No sadness, stress, no pacing
Families sticking together
Through thick and thin no doubt
Brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers
They are never truly without
How do we go from here?
