WHAT HAS THE WORLD BECOME

She watched a man while driving through town
He was holding up a sign hoping work would be found
He was very hungry, hot, and desperate for cash
And prayed for help with a wink of a lash
Why does this situation happen to some
What has the world become

She watched a woman not much younger than her
Dig through a dumpster for food that was free
Her hair was rugged, her clothes were a mess
Her stomach was on empty, her dreams were now less
Why does this situation happen to some
What has the world become

She watched people in Beamers, Jags, and 'Vettes
On their mobiles and cellulars talking about stocks she bets
They care about nothing but themselves or their cash
When others need help, they're gone in a flash
Why does this situation happen to some
What has the world become
