Old man sitting by the side of the road
he's not watching the birds today
he's not watching the sunset like he always does
he's looking at the future
he hates seeing the past
school boy passes by and interrupts his thoughts..........
he says "sir can u spare me a dollar, I've got to make it in time for my class, I've got fresh and cigarettes.........
i tell u what............the world is changing
doesn't like what he sees but what can he do?
little girl passes by with a baby in her arms
he thinks it's her mother's
but no,it is her own............
she's only 12 years old for
crying out loud
with his wobbling fingers
he wipes away the tears in his eyes
if this is the FUTURE he doesn't want to be part of it,so do i.
The world is changing,take your time,look around,make the right decision.
