Lost children stumble down the streets
Their names have been detached
The crime they committed was being born
Teenage runaways with no hope
Crippled angels with paper bag feet
All they wanted to do was escape the pain
Now they find themselves fighting just to hang on
They have their hand out
Yet what they receive is a slap in the face
These frail figures are to be swept aside
The city streets are their home
Nestled somewhere between the paper you forgot to read
The thought of a better day is held dear
While you worry about that frivolous stain
Another child keels over from hunger
Their dreams no different from yours or mine
Selling their bodies for whatever little money they can find
Suicide becomes the only option
Their blood spills down the drain
Just like their life has already done
You step over them hoping not to get any on your shoes
You keep walking with out a tear ever being shed
They maybe homeless
But it seems that society is the one that is
hopeless

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

It reminds me of varous things and what you are describing happens in more shapes and forms than people will ever realise.

From the child who gets an evening meal from neighbours to politeness asking for stale doughnuts in a shop.
