Circle

Circle

Somewhere

There’s no

Green grass

Or turn

Leaf tree

 

Somewhere

Nobody cares

What happens

In the world

Outside their

Door

 

Somewhere

She’s taking

Off her clothes

For cash

 

Somewhere

Somebody got

Shot

For gold

 

Somewhere

A kid

Becomes an

Addict

 

Somewhere

A child

Is taken

And never

Returned

 

Somewhere

People are hungry

For food

Others for their

Very soul

 

Somewhere

A woman

Is weeping

On the ground

 

Somewhere

A man

Is so miserable

He shoots at strangers

Then himself

 

Somewhere

A teenage girl

Gives birth

To a baby she’ll

Never know

 

Somewhere

A man

Can’t find work

To feed his family

Or his pride

 

Somewhere

A child

Is crying

In a corner

 

Somewhere

People are stuck

In circumstances

Beyond their control

 

Somewhere

Could be

Anywhere

 

And anywhere

Could be

Right here
