Stuck

Here in this town, on this street

There is no neighbourliness.

No one reaches to help out

When someone is in distress.



I've noticed this quite often

And never cease to wonder

How they can be so selfish.

Is living here a blunder?



The car is stuck in the snow.

Do neighbours rush to assist?

Country hospitality

In this town doesn't exist.



Today is Sunday - God's day

To be a good Christian - right?

To renew that path to God?

To ignore this woman's plight?



Stuck in this town, on this street.

There is no neighbourliness.

No one reaches to help out

If one's stuck or in distress.
