Bodies lieing on the streets,
Are covered quickly by powdery sheets.
But are they truly covered, when
The eyes of women, children, men
Have seen them so clearly?

Do the men on the higher thrones
Truly choose to overlook the bones
So frozen, with their soulds flightly
Rising away from their human poverty?

Or is it the fault of the average Joe,
Who from himself he never would throw
Out the helping hand, so sweetly needed,
For poor people too, need to be heeded.

Children in poverty also need to be fed,
Sleepless bodies too need a bed.
The safety net is becomming undone,
Pleas go unheard, songs go unsung.

Boom went gas prices, now what do we do?
Doom will soon follow, you know it to be true...
Another work I uncovered when searching through old school things. This was from grade 10 history, when we were discussing the 'safety net' (I can't even remember what the heck it is anymore...)

Anyways, just a rather random poem that I created very secretly, since Mr. Miller would have stolen it away if he had caught me writing it. >.>
