Sleep in your bed, in your warm, safe house

Someone else's day:

They groan, wake up early morning

You have no food, no money for breakfast

You have no food at all, but have no money for shopping

At work, you do back-bracking low-pay work in factories or fields

You must do all your work by hand since there is no computers

You clock out late, trying to make more money

You beg at the store, no one gives you money

You go home, and you kiss your loved one but you can't marry them because of their color, race, religion, or sexuality

You greet your starving, sick children

Tell them there is no food tonight again, and they cry

Your son complains about you not affording to send him to school

You feel so sorry, but there is not money for school let alone food

You can't talk with your spouse because your sick and your voice is fading

You are partially deaf and cannot afford hearing aids so you do not hear most of you daughter's voice

You can't teach your children anything tonight, you do not know how to read, write

You can't change your clothes, you have one dirty pair

You drink muddy water that will eventually make you ill

and you sleep in a cold house without a bed.
