With rodents sleeping by my side
You look at me with sympathy
But that won't get me out of poverty

I am everywhere you look
In every corner and every nook
I won't be rich unless by fluke
I know that since i am not a crook

I guess we are here to stay
Nothing has been done for us till today
It is not our choice to stay this way
And no-one heeds what we say

But heed this warning i say to you
We are the majority and you are few
We are the backbone of this country
So we don't deserve to be cold and hungry [comments] => 1 [counter] => 213 [topic] => 25 [informant] => theeman [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

A POOR MAN'S POEM

Every day you see me outside
With rodents sleeping by my side
You look at me with sympathy
But that won't get me out of poverty

I am everywhere you look
In every corner and every nook
I won't be rich unless by fluke
I know that since i am not a crook

I guess we are here to stay
Nothing has been done for us till today
It is not our choice to stay this way
And no-one heeds what we say

But heed this warning i say to you
We are the majority and you are few
We are the backbone of this country
So we don't deserve to be cold and hungry

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. ©
