Have you ever noticed
those delicate little hands
who polish your shoes
prodigious you stand
Have you ever noticed
in the mayhem of town
weavers of dreams
you curse upon and frown
Have you eve noticed
bright twinkling eyes
while they mop the floor
in a hope to rise
Have you ever noticed
the zest in their hearts
when they serve you silently
and you leave them to starve
Have you ever noticed
those burnt fingers
in your noise and celebration
their pain lingers
Have you ever noticed
the teary eyes
when you abuse and stab
pleasing your mighty pride
Have you ever noticed
the innocent why's
you left them to be gobbled
in a handful of lies
Have you ever noticed
the trembling bud
when you harassed her
and threw in a mud
Have you ever noticed
the dolls you carry
when for materialistic whims
you forced her to marry
Have you ever noticed
the sweat they shed
not to read and learn
but to beg instead
Have you ever noticed
the severity of your crime
selling the priceless pearls
for less than a dime
Have you ever noticed
when a boy you sodomize
its not just him
but a generation you victimize
Have you ever noticed
that you noticed not
little blossoming flowers
our worlds garden has got
Notice them now!
running wild and free
they are our greatest gift
nurturing them is victory!
