Description
What about them
What about the faces
on the evening news
Where do I put them
What do I do with them
while I'm putting on my shoes
What about him
What about the man
with the sign on the street
that sais he's homeless and hungry
what do I do with him
as I'm sitting down to eat
What about her
what about the woman
who's husband beats her black and blue
yet she's too terrified to leave
what do I do with her
while I'm making love to you
What about the children
hiding from the bombs
falling on Afganistan and Iraq
what do I say to then
where do I put them
while I'm thinking of payback
What about him
what about the man
staring back from my mirror at days end
what do I do with him
what do I say when he asks
what about them
