[hometext] => just one point of view...
[bodytext] => Politician man- Please answer my questions I really need to know Are you here for the people Or are you here for the votes? Tell me what you felt When they dropped the bomb... Did you count the tears on the trails of blood Or did you count the gold Beneath the trails of mud? Have you ever had to count pennies To buy your daily bread? Have you ever been stopped by red tape When you tried to be seen as human? I'm standing in line at the health clinic, watching... Tired mothers shush sick children Desparate people scrape change In hopes of their medicine... Social workers antagonize us for our lives As if we chose it to be this way We are herded like cattle As they reduce us to statistics Yet you say we have a voice here I know our struggles are not your fault But that doesn't mean you have to turn your head... Can you please explain what you are here for?

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. ©
