![]() Look at us in our skin tight jeans our fashionable jumpers and shirts Look at us in our warm, multi-bedroom houses as the rain pour and the wind rages Look at us eating our bread, and meat and veg smothered with sauces and spices So why do you complain? Too cold, Too warm Too spicy, Too salty I’m hungry, I’m thirsty I don’t like that, I don’t want to Really? Do you see them in their rags? The only clothes they own Do you see them out in the cold with the weather wearing them down? Do you see them, all skin and bone? without food or clean water “Yes,” you say. “I saw them on TV.” …But did you really see them?
