    why

    by: Sandra Jackson
    Please help me lady, I heard him cry.
    Please help me, he said, as I passed him by.
    The world of homeless becomes bigger each day.
    Do you stop and help, or hurry along on your way?
    Are you blind and deaf, or wish not to hear their cries?
    Do you sit there and think; Someone will help them?
    It's only lies!
    Why do we only turn and look the other way?
    We need to be there for them,to make their day.
    Are you selfish and wish you went the other way?
    Just remember that this could be you someday.

    Please lady, give me some food! They still cry.
    People on the street, I see them still passing him by.
    You need to think; What if that were you?
    Are you going to help them,tell me what would you do?

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
