I Live Next to a Family
I live next to a family.
They will not take me in.
The orphan comes and goes,
They wave goodbye, he waves hello.
I live next to a family.
They offer all I need.
My sniffing around for crumbsÂ
Becomes the paradigm of greed.
The orphan waits for fostering
For hours at a time.
I live next to a family that never once was mine.
