The Black Side to Life

She needs someone who will listen to her,
She needs someone who will behave accordingly
To the issues that are bothering her.
She needs to find a home
Who will take her in
And accept her for who she is.

Why are people naive
Towards people on the street,
And they won't even listen to them?
Why can't people spare some of their time
To help them?
The people on the streets are human,
Like you and me, and should be treated the same.

What is going to happen to the girl
Who is going to end up on the streets?
Is she going to be able
To survive on her own?
Please let there be some one who will be able to help her
And to show her there is a future for her.
