No More Turning Away
From the coldness inside...
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
- Pink Floyd
You turn away when you see the pain
And weariness in the eyes
Of the hobo in the street
His dirty hand outstretched
Begging for alms
He knows you feel disgusted
By his presence on your sidewalk
You think he should get a job
Stop drinking cheap wine
Throw away the needles
Clean himself up
Easy for you to say
When you don’t know how
He happened to be begging
On your wealth-lined street
Do you believe he didn’t have
any dreams of what he could be
You keep turning away
From what the Universe
Keeps trying to teach you
Your heart has turned
To dead black stone
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Look at the naked despair
In that wretched man’s eyes
What you seem to forget
It could have been you
If not for the abundance
The Universe showered
On your unworthy self
Namaste
A good lesson to always hold in mind <3
you captured it so well
we have no idea how much we have and how grateful we should be
