What is wrong with this society
With it’s judge others before we judge
Ourselves mentality.
We daren’t ask of the roads they travel
We do not want to contaminate our feet
by wearing their shoes
We do not want to be weighed down
by the backpacks that
carry their dreams
These are the lost
unravelled
left vulnerable
By our Backpack society
We pretend to look the other way
We do not like to meddle
In throwaway society
Where it is acceptable to queue for days
For the latest apple id
Yet we shun those that have no choice
But to sleep in piss soaked doorways
Begging for small change
And so I plead
Look into your heart
In this Backpack society
Do not judge others before you judge yourself
Remember each and everyone of us
has a name
Everyone is human too
