For those who still have faith in fairness, honesty and trust
But live with corruption and injustice and daily pay the cost
For those who know together is so much better than alone
That a community of the ordinary can achieve extraordinary goals
For those whose daily grind begins with endless wheezing slow cold commutes
But shut up and cough up all their weekly wage to gangsters wearing suits
For those sickened by exhibitions of selfish avarice and greed
But believe in a caring society where we help those most in need
Those who could be homeless with the dropping of a hat
And forced to house their family where you couldn’t swing a cat
For those who now sleep on mate’s sofa’s while your landlords feast and laugh
And for those who feel like they’re over drawn at the Bank of Mam and Dad
For those confused and bruised, who’ve followed the rules but believe it’s all too late
Whose heads and hearts and mortgaged homes are about to detonate
For those who toil and work and pray but still cannot make ends meet
And those helping out kids and grandkids by skipping meals and turning off the heat
There are those who understand
Those who listen to what you say
Have faith and trust in justice
Together we’ll find a way
This is beautiful, thank you.
I have a story for children about homelessness if you’re interested…
