[bodytext] => I bought a pair of GAP jeans today at Goodwill A store that sells used cloths in nice condition The man in front of me bought a board game for $1.50 The couple in front of him bought several articles of clothing for $19.70 Adding both their purchases didn’t come close in to comparison of just the price of the jeans I was currently wearing I was dressed in a red T-shirt Brand new LEVI STRUASS jeans And Birkenstocks It was perfectly clear to me that both people who had made purchases Worked very hard to save each penny And that I was just some spoiled rich girl trying to save a buck Raping their way of life Nevertheless, the cashier looked me in the eye And cupped my hand with both of her hands as she gave me back my change I could see in her eyes and feel in her touch that she had a benevolent soul In terms of monetary wealth she was poor But gave more than 99.9% of the population She did not discriminate against me for what I had As we look down upon the working class and the poor Perhaps if the middle and upper class had just a tenth of what she had in compassion I would not have had to fight to hide my tears of shame [comments] => 0 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 21 [informant] => EsotericWsdm4 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
