Truth Be Told

You can afford going to the hospital
and you can afford all those phone calls
while we have to deal with the pain
for headaches only slamming our heads against walls

You can afford to throw away extra food
and you can afford proper attire
while you have cozy sweaters for winter
and all we have at night is a street fire

Just thought it had to be heard.
