Thru The Eyes Of The Poor

CATEGORY

life

Views: 708

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

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.

Thank you much, its really sad to see folks wandering around the downtown capitol city with their back pack, then there is the working poor, everything goes up except poor folks check, many are one paycheck away from being homeless, sickness close of a plant, thank you again

Love the poem. You're not lying about being one check away from being homeless. It's something we should be talking more about
