Policies Of Poverty

The need to spend
Has grown to an all time high
Government goods
And rapid supply
When consumer needs
Are all we want
Will it really make this
world any better?
When society offers nothing
In return for those unfortunate
How will we over come
This double blind recession?
How will we over look
This economy of destruction?
To think as a hole
Would be so much better
Individuals have grown
To think of no other
The poor are left on the streets
To forge and squander
For food and a new way of life
How did this happened?
People left alone to believe
That there the trash of society
That there the waste that
People speak of
I refuse to allow myself
To fall in between these cracks
I wish to choose a greater path
To help the forgotten few
And bring an age of awareness
Bring to knowledge
That the poor are here
Beneath the floor boards of
These economist
Who refuse to allow everyone
To succeed
We live in a nation
Far greater than any other
But yet we still allow are people
To suffer
In the alley ways
The ditches and drains
Live a life
we would never think of
This is reality
And we must see
That there are people suffering
Living lives so destructive
Filled with hate and pain
War paths leading to death
I've seen this heart ach
I've witnessed it
From my very own eyes
I've tasted the grotesque
Flavors of poverty
I've held back the tears
Of sorrow
Had my family hide
From land lords
Dumpster dived
In to pools of filth
Become the scavengers
For the evil
They call money
Poverty is something
So disgusting
It leaves you with a feeling
Of starvation
With a hint of sickening
It's something
No one should feel
It's something
No one should suffer
So what do you say
Brothers and sisters?
Lets us join hands
To tear down these
Walls of destruction
And bring to
The less fortunate
A helping hand
To lift there spirits
And moral
Bring forth
The ideals of the wise
And maybe just maybe
Create a Eden
Far greater than
Any other could imagine
Make others aware
Of the situations
Occurring ever day
Around them
And promote
The path of righteousness

You speak of something that should never be in this world. I have seen people take food from trashcans right here in the US. The richest country in the world. There is definitely something wrong with that situation. We should be fighting different wars then the one in Iraq. Good write.
Peace and hugs,
