What more could you want from a man with nothing to give?
All that he has is his life that he lives
Throw him around like a leaf in the gale
When you don’t even know the half of his tale

You took one look at his life that he leads
And you assumed that you could tell him just what he needs
Demanding you know what is right and is true,
But the only misinformed person is you

You call him a failure because you laugh when he cries
You call him an urchin when he begs and you lie
You call him a vagrant because his ceiling is the sky
And you wont flinch a muscle when you’re there and he dies

Every day you move about in your same routine way
When all he wants is just to survive the day
One mans waste is another mans pearl
And one man’s nightmare is another man’s world.

Before you step over him or divert your sight
Imagine living like him for a night
Be thankful for what you’ve got and for what you will get
But where you end up should cause no regrets
"I cant hear you, but i feel the things you say"

    idealistic truth.

    where all the best answers lie. as in down.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
