Watch and Listen
How do you not see the homeless man
sleeping in the diner’s doorway?
How do you not hear of another
indigenous youth suicide?
You hide behind closed doors and
fill your head with empty promises to
donate money or volunteer your time tomorrow.
Instead open your heart and give a hand today
when the need is greatest and the cause is just and
a lonely orphan from across the sea
looks out at you with eyes forlorn and lost.
