Under the Same Sun
...And a lot of people say that you smell bad, that you were dirty with a lot of germs or you may have a contagious disease...
I saw a strong woman trying to find food, drugs or alcohol who cares or whatever she needs to survive this ugly world.
I thought about your story.
What made you walk under the sun and what made you challenge the traffic?
Did you think that a car can't hit you?
Did you think that you can't die?
People called you "crazy", "a thief"...
I called you a warrior.
It is so hot...
Summer can't be fun for those who don't know where they are going to be in the fall.
Asking for money is not a crime when you have a hundred tales to tell everyone;
so see you at the same time,
every day under the same sun.
