RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Untouchables
They exist in the shadows of society
Beyond our reach and touch
Are they human?
Are they real?
Do they carry some disease?
We turn our eyes to the distance
We do not breathe the same air
We are afraid to walk with them
Afraid to share their thoughts
Afraid to take them in
Are they not human?
Are they not real?
Is it the color of their skin?
Is it the way they live?
Is it their poverty?
Is it the way it’s always been?
No one should live in the shadows
No one should be beyond reach
No one should be untouchable
For we are all human
We all breathe the same air
We all bleed the same blood
We all have children for whom we care
