‘scum of the earth’
This boy is not mad he just hasn’t seen good
he pilfers your dustbin in search for his evening food
people say if he had stayed in school and studied math
he’d have had it better than a church rat
I remember thinking this man was too old
to be selling just waste baskets on the busy road
and this little girl was just to young
to have a dazzling face but a swollen tongue
the loudspeaker plated that ice cream song
it seems better to shut your mind and not ponder, right?
but that’s like saying the world is dark because you don’t see light
to these people, life has been rough
but what they lack, we have more than enough
