A Poem For The Concrete
"Iīm going to Argentina, gotta get outta here.
The people are no good here, donīt got God in their heart"
"Iīve been robbed, got nothing.
No food, no money, nothing!"
"I'm starving!"
"This place ainīt no good, not like America.
Miami Beach, man, thatīs the honey pot.
Goin to get back there one day."
"But it's okay tonight,
because I got God in my heart
and I don't need nothin else
and I can sleep like a baby
on this sidewalk"

"But it's okay tonight,
because I got God in my heart
and I don't need nothin else
and I can sleep like a baby
on this sidewalk"

An epiphany of your sweet motherland's embrace and love. Had one in the Philippines back in 82. Every traveling American has one sooner or later. Nothing like living in the good'ol US of A. Enjoyed.
