Those Who Have Eyes

Those Who Have Eyes
Eight months pregnant.
Homeless crack addict
From the south side of town.
Angel All alone.
Can't decide
If to confide.
Caught in a lifestyle
For which she knows no relief.
Day after day,
Night after night,
Utterly impoverished
Surrounded by filth.
Depressed,
And wishing she were dead.

Low self- esteem,
Only seventeen.
Been molested,
Been raped,
Been beaten to the ground
Been molested,
Been raped,
By the men that promised
To keep her safe and sound.
Low self- esteem,
Only seventeen.
Forced to sell her body
And tormented soul
Depressed,
And wishing she were dead.
Talking to her unborn child
No one else listens to what she says.
\"How long God must I suffer this way,
Please don't force me to endure another day\"
Angel is pregnant
Baby, one month due.
I remember her say
Those who have eyes to see
Will see.
In what she said
I surmised
That look on her face
With tears in her eyes.
To escape her pain
She decides life ain't worth livin'.
Angel walks into the path
Of the Marta Train,
The nine forty- five.
