Seeking Assistance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

NOW what are they protesting?

'They have come to protest,
That the government...
Has shown them less interest.'

Aren't they the ones just a few months ago,
Who came to protest too much government...
In their lives?

'But that was during bright sunny days.
And the storms upon them did not yet come.'
And only then do they to the government run.'

I've noticed how quick those who critique,
Are the first in line...
Whining and seeking assistance.

'All the time.
If not complaining about those less fortunate,
When not in some fancy restaurant dining.'

Hypocrites.

'And they are faithful to the doing of it.'
