~Apathy is the enemy of humanity~

Two hands in a trash-can / on the side of the street
In a searching frenzy / for something to eat
She curses loudly / out into the air
Curses someone who’s / no longer there
He sits on the sidewalk / head between his knees
Technically you’re alive / as long as you breathe
American flag wrapped around his head
Too wary to sleep / too tired to beg

I hear them
I see them
I pass them by
Jaded – Jaded by life

Swollen bellies – Festering scars
Swollen bellies – Festering scars
Dead children – Dead children
Swollen bellies – Festering scars
Flies in their mouths – Flies in their eyes
Dead stares, Dead stares – Robbed of life

I hear them
I see them
I pass them by
Jaded – Jaded by life

Blood – Jaded
Death – Jaded
Jaded – Jaded
Jaded by life

Me – Jaded
You – Jaded
We’re – Jaded
Jaded for life
