About This Poem
Today
Today
I thought...
I decided to be positive
just to give it a whirl
pretty dress, nice shoes
hair done, makeup on
all the accessories
I saw.....
People smiling without showing teeth
words coming out without meaning
ears open but not listening
interested not really caring
I thought...
There were others in clothes made of tatters
teeth the color not pretty
holes in shoes too small
hair a mess, makeup gone
I saw...
People not smiling, not even a grin
mouths closed with no words to tell
others being ignored because of their chagrin
passer buyers not even a glance
I thought...
What has happened?
Don’t we care?
Is Armani the most important thing that we wear?
Aren't we all equal in the things we posses?
I swear.
