I don't know destitute.
I could use the bathrooms
In McDonalds,
If I eat there.
I'm no refugee.
Neither are you.
We have computers, not canvas.
I warmed up the coffee today
And the dishwasher needs to go through
For the third time this week.
Homeless: We have them.
Poor: We'll always have them.
Hungry: Look to the soup kitchens.
Sick: The gurneys are lined in the halls.
Death: It's all around, and increasing.
And still, in that tent or Uber taxi
A child is born to change all this.
Cool poem, nicely conceived and well-written. A child doesn't have to be the son of god to change the world.
All it takes is one, and that could be born at any time and into any situation. Marvelous poem, Francie Congrats on poem of the day
well-written poem. Still there is hope to dream a better dream.
Congratulations! Seeing your poem as poem of the day is matter of happiness of course. This is very thought provoking. After birth very often a man suffers from diseases, hunger, poverty and sickness. Entirely this is very amazing and this reflects another scene of the world. ...10
