I met a girl

and she was blue.

I met a boy

and his daddy took away all his fancy toys.

I met a mother

and she grasped her lifeless child closer.

I met a father

and he drank his family's life away.

I met a sister

and even a brother.

I met grandparents

and even aunts with all their uncles.

I have met so many people in this world

and the most are those with painted faces,

those who stand among the crowd.
