Hold Your Judgement
I may be just that child Who lives in the town Where school dropouts reign But I am not a truant I may be just that child Who lives in that suburb Where majority live by begging But I am not a beggar I may just be that boy Who lives in the street Where all heinous crimes are rife But I am not a criminal I may just be that boy Who lives in the ghetto Where every hard drug is sold But I am not a drug user I may just be that boy Who lives in the slum Where ex-convicts abound But I am not a jailbird I may be just that girl Who lives near that brothel Where every sex worker began But I am not a prostitute I may be just that girl Who enters that clinic Where every pregnancy is aborted But I am not an abortee Sometimes circumstances thrust people into situations and cast a shadow that is not true of their real selves. Until you zoom in and zoom out the images you have, hold your judgement!
