A woman on the number 63
had quite a lot to say to all of us
loud enough for everyone to hear
no choice but to listen, stuck on the bus
Nobody cares. I fuckin' want to die
but i'm too fuckin' scared to kill myself
Just too fuckin' scared, and she started to cry
You're fuckin' fine, with your health and your wealth
But I've got nothing. I starve every weekend
Nobody cares. Nobody fucking cares
We could only stare the other way, pretend
we didn't hear, repeat that silent prayer
There but for the grace of god go I
There but for the grace of god go I
this is so well laid out - the whole scene.. thank you Gitanjali
