Strangers on the tube unite <br />The peace and silence for me a fright <br />A drunken bum a ticket won <br />Prays he has a home tonight <br /> <br />The day was bright <br />The mood was good <br />While hungry children fight for food <br /> <br />Autim’s coming, winter's next <br />Hope your warm in your little beds <br />a child is hurt, but he'll grow old <br />And then forgotten when it's cold... <br /> <br />So take some time to look around, <br />Do you see them begging on the ground? <br />Are you scared..? They don’t bite <br />But ignore them again and they might! <br /> <br />The bitter sweetness it is all around <br />In keeps my feet steady on the ground <br />They stand in queues for food they wait <br />Some survive, for others to late. <br /> <br />It makes us think it makes us strong <br />The doings of someone else’s wrong <br />I pray to God that I’m not next <br />While you curl up in your warm little beds<br /><br />Frans Adolph Steyn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ordinary-people-2/
