And He sits.

Waiting patiently.

For what?

Anything to nible on.

And he waits.

For what?

Maybe a crumb or just someone to..
toss him a dollar or maybe a bunch
SOMEONE HELP THIS MAN GET HIS LUNCH.


Chorus: Hes looking for leftovers.
What did this man do wrong ?
Leftovers. Help him get his hunger on.


And he snacks, viciously.
On what I gave him as a gift from me.
Satisfied, so briefly as he glanced and said discreetly......
"Im stillllll hungry."

Chorus: Hes looking for leftovers.
What did this man do wrong ?
Leftovers.
Help him get his hunger on.


The sun clears, as the day is gone.
Another battle won, many more to come.

And he sleeps. As the night storms in.
Nothing but a newspaper covers him.
This battle may won but tommorow theres another one.

Leftovers.

This is very intriguing, I like abstract, out of the norm, structure of it. Simple, yet the message is clear and vivid.
