Poem Hunter Poem by Cane Walker

'Poem Hunter'
Is run by a bunch of hypocrites
Who have preconceived notions
Of the world.

They like poems
That label India as a poor country;
They like verse
That states that the US and UK
Are rich countries.

But look around, you fools,
There are poor people
In the so-called 'developed countries' too,
I will prove it-
Just watch the video
Of Phil Collins' 'Another Day in Paradise.'
They beg with their hats full of holes
Instead of begging with their open palms..
That's the only difference.

Do you know that many people
In the so-called developing countries
Have more money
Than you Americans and Britishers
Can ever dream of?

Think, nincompoops,
Think.
