Zero Class Citizen Poem by Khemmie Ray

Remember us
Even if we are too weak a link
To be remembered
We take no pleasure in
Disobeying legislations
We are just rebels
Born out of circumstance
We have no fortress to hide
Just the street corners
To scamper in
Yet we are tossed and jostled around
By your cleansing chemicals
And your agents of enforcement
Beat us not nor arrest us
For we hear but are lame to action
The luxury you teach
For our survival
We can't afford
We just sit still
Wondering which will
Be the death of us
The disease that moves with us
Or the pangs that bites the stomach.
