Thru The Eyes Of The Poor

CATEGORY

life

There is no open door of opportunity

that says, welcome, to the poor

Politicians speak of the American Dream

The poor the uneducated exempt it seems

The silent majority with no voice

this position in life I am sure not their choice

The rich kicked back and relaxed

homeless staying under the bridge

or huddled together in some shelter or on a bench

Each generation that comes along

will find something new in the

system of things which in coded words

says to the poor you do not belong

Those living by faith got it right

Believe it to be true there is a higher

power that shall take up your fight

The poor don't want a hand out

or to be mired in a safety net

Just a chance to enjoy life

as the Creator meant

		T'ya says: I agree with this piece 0. There's only so much necessity one has before it turns into greed. God never meant for us to live in a world of poverty, greed, and one brother turning on another. I know in my heart of hearts, no parent would sacrifice his child in vain...and it seems like we've all forgotten who Jesus is and what God has done for us ALL! Love this...thanks for sharing. poems by this commentor BELOVEDS Thank You for Saying Goodbye Possibilities

In the midst of a

changin season

lookin like tall beautiful flowers

but of course its those changin

color of leaves vivid colors

from those enormous trees

then there are the shorter ones

to blend in like the rainbow

in the sky

Lookin real Pretty ou here

When I see the beauty of nature at work

this is one of my Fall Winter tunes its by The Rascals

called Little Dove You tube got it

Heater Jumpin

That atmospheric time

fireplace sets it off

cause the Hawk has come

to nest and rest

Heater jumpin on and off

all night

temp dipped to 37

But

its somethin bout this

time of year house is warm

cold outside gettin darker

earlier and earlier every day

feelin that brisk Fall wind

watchin leaves really leavin

the trees

Love the sound inside the house

heater jumpin on and off

make me grab a pen throw

a lil art together my Muse

kind of weather

This song is a favorite combative summer song by my favorite

R and B Funk group Isley Brothers been dealin with them since

the 60s got a lot of their music The Heat is On youtube gots it

Straight From The Hip Baffler

Not one who craves attention

one that loves danger and adventure

Got this best friend named shadow

with me he always follow

he is everywhere I go

like me love to travel incognito

Never out to impress just b me

a mystifier a baffler beyond

the realm of reality

This one staight from the mind

not written down on paper

doing it real real straight off the computer

keyboard

At times do things like this

so easily bored

spur of the moment as I baffle

Feelin Blue Earth Wind N Fire Youtube

Early Mornin Write

3 or so in the mornin

like every night

for years now dealin

with this PTSD

eyes never shut tight

Not much for watchin TV

so I kinda just lay here hoping

to catch a few winks before

the night is over

A restless Soul fighting to

get a lil sleep

if I get any its always light

never deep

Well this morning here

maybe I will begin this

trend of a early morning

write

Music junkie since small child At the age

of 12 I remember this song love the part about the milkman

they really did used to deliver milk in the bottle with that fresh

cream on top early in the morning The song was tossin and turnin Bobby Lewis youtube it
