Dispossessed Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Dispossessed



this heart sees no hope!

eyes see no water to drink
eyes see no food to eat
eyes owning poverty die daily

die daily deemed dead millions!

lips parch taste no relief water
stomach shrinks tastes no food
eyes cloud see no compassion

misericorde starvation is the mercy stroke!

share surplus resources?
share surplus life food?
or waste surplus drive up prices?

stiletto needle wealth controls markets!

this soul thirsts
this soul hungers
still no place is found

still no place within world to reside!

death abides death abides?
soul cry soul cry soul cry out to heaven?
starvation plea mounts up appeals to throne in heaven?

the poor are always with us condemning indifference!
