As i was going on into the city
I noticed faint sound of cries
From a puppy perhaps?
I investigated the alley
As I went towards the noise
I heard a male's voice
And a thud
What could it be?
I stopped on my steps
I saw a man walk out of the alley
Holding a net with a dog
Cowering and begging to drop
As I watched him walk
As he drived his vehicle away
I realized, "What am I doing?
I'm supposed to help the dog!"
But it was too late, just like
Everyone who sit and walk by
When there's someone in need
I realized I was like them
As the sun sets
I still haven't found a job
I don't know why, bad luck I guess?
But it had me thinking a lot
What would the world be
If it noted every alley, every corner
Where people cry?
Where they would care?
I don't know
That's not me to answer
I don't know
Why are you asking me that?
Who are you?
Who am I?
A nobody stranger?
Why was I born anyway?
