Soup kitchen

And a good man's heart is heavy with sacrifice and pain
he stays hot and sweaty all summer,
cold and in pain all winter.
he lives in darkness with a thin layer of grease
a thin layer of grease all around

his claim to fame?
He is alive.

and hot and greasy bombarded by noise relentlessly
accepted?
Resigned?
Given up?
no
No,
NO!

He sees the bigger purpose
Helping others.

Help the sheep -- the ones with no initiative
The masses that don't want help.

and hope that a few do want
want to be helped
want to succeed
want to live

he wants to help the peoples, the peoples
the peoples that are hungry when they go to sleep
the peoples that are hungry when they wake up.
they hurt so bad, the need to escape the pain.

The pain of years gone bad, the pain of being stepped on.
so they self medicate, it is easier to escape than feel the hunger.

and he wants to help the people.
"when you are hungry that is the only thought you have,
you feel it so deep,
it creates hopelessness,
it lives and controls your thoughts and feelings
it hurts so bad that you can't think
it makes strong men cry
and mothers die."

and the thought
"we choose where we want to be"
some conscientiously -- like Louis who lives at the soup kitchen.

some through their mistaken beliefs and victim posture -- like all the people he tries to help.
