Out of touch
I stand accused
Acutely aware
I battled
These realities
Battered wives
Compromised innocence
Blameless alcohol victims
Homeless
Voiceless
Borrow from Sally to pay Susie
Steal from Peter to pay Paul
Chase the empty dream
Smoke out the devil
Fill the soul with another item off the Chinaman’s shelf
Acutely aware
This reality reveals a nation searching
A community waiting
Release from poverty cannot be delivered
Building change means constructive hearts and minds growing more
than ideas blind
