From The Inside Out

I Wonder

A man once said that the man who lives in hope
              dies starving
A girl once told me she's so alone
She sells her body to feel loved

                              I wonder what could have gone so wrong
                              to be so wrong

Someone on Yonge Street begs for money
              to buy crack
He says when people give him money.
              They put another nail in his coffin

                             and I wonder what could have gone so wrong
                             to be so wrong

Across the street they offer powdered vitamin C
               to smoke with crack
At the hostel they exchange a cheap bottle
               for a good one
At the youth shelter they drive the pregnant teen
               to the abortion clinic

                             and I wonder what could have gone so wrong
                             to be so wrong

The world spins away towards yesterday
and we keep on worshipping money and sacrificing the weak
               to appease our god
And complain when the price of gas goes up

                             and I wonder what could have gone so wrong
                             to be so wrong
