How dare you succeed
When so many failures litter the street
How dare you reap the benefits of your hard labor
When so many cannot find a warm place to sleep
Were you not paying attention
When your teachers, priests & politicians
Told you about your obligation
To alleviate the suffering
Of those so much less fortunate than you
How dare you enjoy good health
When so many suffer from disease
How dare you enjoy the privilege of breathing
When so many repentant smokers gasp & wheeze
Can you not sense the desperation
In the words of the martyrs, beggars, & rhetoricians
Hungering to save the world from starvation
Did you dismiss it as loud blustering
From the hypocritical mouths of the parasitic few
How dare you enjoy the privilege of breathing
When so many repentant smokers gasp & wheeze
Can you not sense the desperation
In the words of the martyrs, beggars, & rhetoricians
Hungering to save the world from starvation
Did you dismiss it as loud blustering
From the hypocritical mouths of the parasitic few
