Injustices Poem by louis rams

Injustices

Rating: 5.0


seeking injustices throughout the land
trying to give a helping hand.
people running to and fro
not knowing which way to go.

children playing in the streets
and predators around offering treats.
elderly people who can't retire
too old to work and no one will hire.

unemployment lines longer than ever
in hopes that things will get better.

gas prices are all sky rocketing
c.e.o.'s doing the pocketing.

people all around losing their homes
and not enough money to pay their phones.

the richest nation in the world
and food being thrown away
and children starving every day.

everglades and rain forests being torn apart
stealing the air that supplies our hearts.

all these injustices that we see
are all the realities.

how many more injustices can we take.
can we change them? or is it too late.

Indiscriminate deprivation enforced on the general population to rescue the failure of big business.A very timely poem well expressed for those who are victims of the recession.
