Take a walk along the river’s trail, move the tents to no avail
Little do they realize, each is a house for a pair of eyes
Will they ever realize?
Or continue spreading more lies
In the wake
Public works mistake
Misguided hate, perpetuate
We’re band aiding a bullet wound
The bleeding, not over soon
Sweeping the dust under the rug
Hateful words take place of hugs
A society so self absorbent
They’re all yearning to feel important
