Look into my eyes <br />Try to see what I see <br />View the world through my eyes <br /> <br />See the hurt of war stricken families <br />The pain of poverty filled streets <br />See the racism and discrimination all around us <br /> <br />See the competition <br />Survival of the Fittest <br />Will you make it out alive? <br /> <br />See the eagerness of children in the ghetto <br />Hear their cry to get out <br />Their plea for a better life <br />Watch mothers desperately trying to provide <br />Hustlin’ and selling their bodies for a decent meal <br /> <br />Look into my eyes <br />See those better off <br />Watch them make a living <br />The American dream, that’s what their living <br />See them climb the corporate ladder <br />Strive to reach the top <br />They have the money <br />So why won’t they share it? <br />Why won’t they share a meal? <br /> <br />Why are so many on the streets homeless? <br />In America, the land of dreams <br />With streets paved in gold <br />Where is the promise of a better life?<br /><br />Candice George<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-my-eyes-remix/
