Lucky

You wake up every morning,
Do you ever stop to think how lucky you are?
A warm shower, a warm sweater,
stepping outside it is cold.
But you would not know
go ahead get into your heated car,
turn the key and drive to work.

Do you drive by me?
Cold, lonely,
cold.
O, how I am cold.
While you sit, talking
unaware.
Unaware that humans are,
humans are suffering.
I am cold, the winter air
Bitter. Numbing.

Are you grateful?
You never said please or thank you,
but expect your children to.
You ask them to put down their phone at the dinner table
but will you?

You have always been given the best,
now you expect it.
Do you realize how lucky you are?
I would trade my bike
for your car.
I would trade my lonely
for your love.

But you do not realize,
that you have everything
you should want.
Open your eyes,
everyone is not so lucky.
