Imagine it were you
Lying on the ground
Begging random strangers for loose change
Your look really implying that you need more

What if things did not work out for you?
Remember
You're everyday people too
What if life did not go your way?
Would you have somewhere to stay?

Many reasons are unknown
As to why women and men struggle
What is not unknown
Is that every being has a struggle of their own

The poor are rich in freedom
Thus the rich are socially poor
The poor often possess knowledge to change one's life
While the rich always want more

Is freedom really that easy to grasp?
Or more easily said than done
Life is simple
When you eliminate concerns
Of being the ultimate one

I reiterate
What if it were you?
Whose home is made of cardboard
At least it's more durable than glass

I developed mixed emotions
When I heard your response
To a human being in need
Once kind hearted
Now overcome with greed

The man in the mirror
Can find himself lost at times
Ground beneath his feet
Has him shaking like a leaf

Karma is back for blood
That often drips from a tongue so loose
Before criticizing the hard life stricken
Remind yourself
You are everyday people too
