How the hell did we wind up like this?

We the people of the world such condescnding people

We are to caught up in ourselves to even see the people who need help

The homeless are who need help, our kids need help

My Mama told me when I was young to take my time and not to live to fast trobles will come but they will pass

Don't live life in the fast lane take your time, you will see the beauty in life and how you can help the needing
