Along for the Ride

The Have and Have Nots We seek out waterfalls and rainbowsPretending to avoid their tattered clothesWe walk past so many outstretched handsAnd sickly children crying over empty pansWe drive past people under cardboard tentsThe downtrodden unable to pay the high rentsWe want them all to go somewhere out of sightSo we can pretend everything in our world is rightBut the hungry and desperate insist on being seenThe line between the have and have nots is so lean
