On a pillow of cement Rest a thousand dreaming heads The destitute and diffident Thrown away and left for dead Systematic rejections Souls forgotten and ignored But their eyes still bear the shine Of the love of our own Lord (Dream on, my children) These are the thirsting and the starved (Your King is coming soon) These are the naked and the sick These are the least (Sleep well, my children) These are our brothers (Your Kingdom is at hand) Woe to those who mock the poor In contempt of their Creator Woe to those who vomit judgment While choking on their hatred Woe to those who praise the system As it tears down our sisters' homes You crush the lilies underfoot You smear the roses in the dirt Disgrace the beauty of the common And wonder why the noble weeps
