| Another day passes |
Again she sits and ponders, what's going on in the world doesn't anyone give a damn any more.
Another day passes then night passes and more lost souls wander aimlessly through life.
Lost for so long you wonder which demons possess their hearts their minds their souls.
So much hurt in their lives lost hope self torture. You can see it on their arms you can see it in their eyes So sad so unnecessary.
Government legislators talk the rest of society turn their backs and walk, while more people cry and more people die behind the doors of the roach infested rooming houses so many call home.
What about the children, to grow amongst the obstacles and dangers, living in the middle of an epidemic. Used condoms used needles, empty rice wine bottles, abused people.
Addicts of all the poisons concocted by man and nature to help one forget, to escape.
A terrible environment abut a neighborhood just the same. Fear and hatred an emotion most witnessed through their innocent eyes innocence most surely lost never to return.
And again another day passes then night passes and life goes on and life goes on in the downtown eastside
