Free but hungry iii

Free But Hungry III

Piece description from the artist

Look in the eyes of the
Homeless man
Tell me what you see
In the eyes of a jobless man
Tell me what you see
What about the eyes
Of a prisoner
What do you see
Now you've seen it all
It is time to make up your mind
Don't try to hide it
'Cause I can see it all
In your face
It is the same questions
That I ask myself every time
To be or not to be
A well-fed slave or a hungry free man?
