[bodytext] => hold on to this inspiration while I go check on a conversation that I was having prior to your salutation Hold on to this love for me While I publicly scream at the top of my lungs to this country to find out where they be Hold on to this rationalization While upon completion of this creation that I intend on releasing upon this entire nation Open up your eyes for me And explain why poverty Is at the bottom of your list Like it doesn't existed When is life gonna change for them Who is gonna complain for them And make sure things begin to happen Because I'm tried of giving out change These 2,3,4 dollars ain't gonna change The situation I see outside my window pane So I walk outside and ask him why Why do you think these cars pass you by and stare And why don't these people care And why cant they relinquish their hand from that dime Or at least give you 10 minutes of their time To bless you with a little piece of mind I swear this should be crime There needs to be a police officer on every corner you go making people roll slow And at least acknowledge the fact that I already know That poverty is a disease And it has infected our streets Our towns Our Cities Our nation Our world and the funny thing about this disease Is that its curable But nobody is looking for the antidote And why Because shades and blinds cover our windows So we don't have to look outside when the wind blows So we can look the other way when the temp goes way below zero And the rain froze Cause its not your problem when your eyes cant see but your brain knows Then they flash images across the TV of these souls Broken hearted stumped in the ground with their woes And you flip the channel so quick Like I cant believe they are trying to impose On you watching for the fifth time the same shows Poverty is an epidemic But ignorance glows brighter then the high beams on Mr. Senator's Rolls I cant believe that they're sold on the way were living life there selling death like it gold And everybody is not a millionaire I understand that But everybody has got the ability to make in impact Whenever you need something you think your getting it gift wrapped But soon as they as for some help you say get back We eat food when we want to We throw food away when we don't want it We by watches and rings just to flaunt it And when we get to the afterlife I sure hope you gotta plan Man! Cause I don't think God is gonna understand man And you know where your gonna be knee deep standing In the fires of hell wishing that your were a little less demanding Poverty is a disease But unkindness is a death sentence Perhaps thats were we need to focus our attention Because if people were more kind Then they would be more open minded To help out those who are stranded Left bare naked and abandon And we can begin to change the land when No child goes to bed empty handed Poverty is a disease But unkindness Is A Death [comments] => 1 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Allidoiswrite82 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 2 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

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. ©
