Orbiting Goes On Poem by shimon weinroth

Orbiting Goes On



what kind of society
can't providework for all,
what kind of commuinty,
can't find places for the homeless,

what kind of society has no obligation
for all the sick, crippled and infirm,
what kind of community agrees
to let some have so much more than they can use

while others not enough to live on,
what kind of society does not honor its agreements
with old aged, one parent children and orphans,
because of bad planning

what kind of community lets its neighbors starve
while others have more than enough,
what kind of family is not involved in education
to stamp out ethnic and gender discrimination,

what kind of society thrives on unemployment,
what kind of society is indifferebt to suicide,
what kind of family lets their children use and sell dope,
what kind of society lets pollution destroy the atmospheres

what kind of planet can survive this way,
and goes in search for other life

and still calls it self a democracy and democratic
