[based On "Those Who Have Eyes To See Will See" By Willie Christopher Tucker]



Eight Months Pregnant.

Homeless Crack Addict

From The South Side Of Town.

Angel All Alone.



Can't Decide

If To Confide.



Caught In A Lifestyle

For Which She Knows No Relief.

Day After Day,

Night After Night,

Utterly Impoverished

Surrounded By Filth.

Depressed,

And Wishing She Were Dead.



Low Self- Esteem,

Only Seventeen.



Been Molested,

Been Raped,

Been Beaten To The Ground

Been Molested,

Been Raped,

By The Men That Promised

To Keep Her Safe And Sound.



Low Self- Esteem,

Only Seventeen.



Forced To Sell Her Body

And Tormented Soul -

Depressed,

And Wishing She Were Dead.



Talking To Her Unborn Child -

No One Else Listens To What She Says.

"How Long God Must I Suffer This Way,

Please Don't Force Me To Endure Another Day"



Angel Is Pregnant -

Baby, One Month Due.

I Remember Her Say -

Those Who Have Eyes To See

Will See.



In What She Said

I Surmised

That Look On Her Face -

With Tears In Her Eyes.



To Escape Her Pain

She Decides Life Ain't Worth Livin'.

Angel Walks Into The Path

Of The Marta Train,

The Nine Forty- Five.
