Meager Beginnings
An observation in the orange groves.

MEAGER BEGINNINGS

Meager beginnings make for a harder way
Shorter nights and longer days
Billowed white smoke from makeshift stoves
Fight the frost in the orange groves

Black-eyed children without a home
Victims of oppression born to roam
Grandma and Grandpa still work on
Sacrificial love fills their songs

Random chance allows some through
Considered lucky pulling off the rue
So remember when your juice arrives
Its meager beginnings touched countless lives.
