Lol I wish I could write a better poem at 1:30 AM but I'm sleepy and feeling unproductive so I needed to post something.
Can't go to many days without posting something
Need before greed, some would call this equity
Others call it socialistic, even go so far as to claim it's demonic
How could basic needs be denied
I guess its the dream of some to increase the disparity
Between the mass us, and those who should panic
Because eventually people will see they have lied
I see the conspiracies of oil and money
Control energy and then control us
I guess these companies see themselves as the rulers of the Earth
Perhaps one day they'll open their eyes to see
The overwhelming masses cannot be held under the bus
Eventually revolution will see them overthrown for what that's worth
Anyways I see people in my town starving
With no homes no livelihoods no pride
This needs to stop and not be made worse
Unfortunately the republicans want to do more carving
Want to take us for a painful ride
They truly are heartless, for they show no remorse
Well I guess major change needs to come now
The problems are bigger than the solutions
Health Care, financial reform, climate legislation
Are like cultivating a modern field with a horse drawn plow
While the effort is there the people can't wait on resolutions
When faced with homelessness, depression, and starvation
Its about time the people in Washington really look around
Take the time to experience as the people do
Maybe they might get a sense of the urgency
The urgency of a people being driven into the ground
Who want the ability to go to work too
Let me remind you the word is urgency
But they forget the word in their recesses
Not all but too many to count or remember their names
So many many of us sit at home frustrated
Can't even march on Washington with the limited funds we possess
And are sick of the lack of progress and phony claims
It's almost as though they think we are all distracted
I don't know but I just need some progressive policy
Before my mom misses another payment and I'm homeless too
And it wouldn't just be me, or my family
Perhaps it should be they living in they place of you or me
Maybe that would change the things they do
Living in comfort, with little worry does not allow them to truly see
