5a.m. Bus

Long Faces
Dark circles
Under tired eyes

They clutch at
half empty
lunch packs

Hoping that
they'll make it
through the day

On half a sandwich
and two hours of sleep

So that they can
earn their share

To pay the rent
and feed the kids
that cry of hunger pains

This was the dream
No one signed up for this
