A man of nothing
Poem by Soran M. H


You can't go on fighting

let the thievesrob you

until no one is interested in robbing you any more

let the sadists spit out at you

until they end their joy

and enjoy their time elsewhere.

Let the brave uniforms annoy you

to boost their self-importance -

who leave the drug dealers free!

Let the Housing staff block you

until they are happier in their duties -

who put you in waiting Band Three

after eleven years of been homelessness!

*

I do not know

Whether the lady Godiva knew

this would be the situation in her modern city

or not?

Sobe aware

Even asa voyageur

Do not pass by such miserable places

Do not lose your human nature

Do not give up your ability to fight

for your human rights.

part 1....Thanks Edward, Anil...oh yes...The beggary government is the government that lives on the pockets of citizens instead of creating job opportunities and finding new and varied sources of income, thus young people's hair turns gray and the number of homeless, poverty and racism increases... and human rights are violated,
