The Threadbare Man Cries In The Third World

Rating: 5.0


They do experiments, acrobats and miracles et cetera.
Their radars never catch a slight picture of him.
Even they see never bother of zero figures.
The bourgeoisie organizations bloom like mushrooms
and boast their welfare services.
The soft-hearted and soggy earth never refused to hide
the exodus and their poor skeletons.

To my poet friend Charles Chaim Wax
(not seen in the site a long time.)

Constructive writing. Maybe they need new eyes. Susie.

I like this one very much. You appear to have made a rather political statement in this Nimal. Non Governmental Organisations, appear to be given short shrift here. That so, I fully support the premise. But the narration being your creation, there is no hectoring just a simple statement put so well.

Your slight picture of a threadbare man is exceptional, but the indifference of the material world is so resounding I wonder if his spare tears will be heard.. Each person who reads this poem must decide that for himself. Sandra
