The invisible

Invisible, the man on the street
the voice of silence,
you don't want to meet
the homeless, the poor
society's dregs
the drunk and the junkie
the woman who begs
Old and dying are obsolete
children crying in the street
Invisible, victims of hate
police and villains
wasters of time
scapegoats and prodigals
social outcasts
lost boys and girls, iconoclasts
Old and dying are obsolete
children crying in the street
drugs abusing, our memory losing
invisible are everywhere
Invisible, the child you abuse
the people who die for the drugs that
you use
the wife that you batter, the husband
you cheat
the old and the dying, the now
obsolete
