Streets of Gold


I walk upon streets of gold
thinking about what I was told
What paid for it, what had been sold

I saw the riches abound
What comes, should go around
But no compassionate people,, to be found.

A Mexican woman's face I saw
Just wanting to walk with me
A wife, a mother, and a law
She was a criminal, it had to be

Not a r*pist or a thief
Just a person, found in grief
seventeen years had gone by
And no one bothered to ask why

She was r*ped, by men of trust
her family stolen, left in tears
the streets of gold turned to dust
In keeping with, undying fears

I saw a penny on this street
And wondered what it had bought
Amongst these riches..... could it buy for me
Not much, I'd guess, but maybe a thought.

Yes, compassionate people are taken advantage of......people choose to take advantage of those they can.
Yet there are always winners and losers.
No matter what you think, no matter who you may think gets the advantage. No matter who you think is smart or stupid.

The compassionate person.....ALWAYS WINS.

I found a penny on the street yesterday.
That is a rare event in Canada these days since we got rid of them.
