Social Poem

People leaving left and right Wondering who, for them, fights Sensing anger from their faces Thinking what’s become of this great nation Never imagining this much devastation Babies starving And for who? Leaders of the people is it for you? What have we done? Rich feeding off the poor Now knocking on hell’s doors How could we become so full of greed? Relief is what we need What’s the point of government if it’s corrupt? We The People need to stand up

I'm with you, Angela. So many politicians have evaded taxes, made backroom deals with failing companies and broken the public trust. I find it revolting, and I'm ready to stand up! Great poem. I hope everyone reads it because it's a message we need to share!
