[hometext] => Poverty.........
[bodytext] => 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 [comments] => 1 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Epic [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

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. ©
