Paradise !!!

sirlocowicked AKA Bubba

For you and i it may seem like paradise

But for for some they really pay the price 

We look to the Man whos on the street

Whoms shoes aren't matching on his feet

We continue with the blind eyes pretending not to see

Looking at them "like"nothing comes for free

With Miles on the shoes and soles of their feet 

Looking around for something to eat

Just think twice be twice as nice

For it's just another day for you and me in paradise 

He calls out is there anyway you can help me 

Is there something you can give me 

He's got blisters on his feet can't walk but he's trying

You can tell by the look on his face he'd been crying

So many places to lay their heads

So many of them with no pillows or beds

What's paradise for you and I

Would simply make less fortunate somber and cry

OH Lord is there something we can say and do

Seeing so many makes me sad and blue

So think twice even though you're in paradise 

Because for some they can't even get cup of water with freaking ice

        Don't know much about popular music, so missed that connection completely.
        The message however was not, and should be pasted on every ne'er-do-well wealthy member of the population, which would surely include politicians.
        Approved😉!
