Poem
THE THIRD WORLD WEEPS FIRST The other day I was perplexed so I pondered and reckoned It occurred to me that the Third World always comes second The other night I came to the conclusion that what’s really the worst Is that the Industrial Nations always come first Hey, it’s more important for Mr. Important to get his T-Bone steak Then to look at youthful skin and bones that cause my heart to break I hear all the pleas for donations from various organizations But why would anyone collect money for other irrelevant nations? We’ve got our own problems here to reflect and repair So forget those hungry mothers whose breasts have no milk to share Simply make sure Mr. Important is comfy with Tammy his assistant on a plush leather chair And Mrs. Important knows about Tammy and finds this whole exercise in selfishness quite unfair Well fair it ain’t and I can tell you why in ways by the score Because no matter how our economic stimulus is all Americans want is more More of what Mr. Moore has more of him then him and one lovely daughter But does anyone realize that billions of people on this planet are drinking stagnant and parasitic water?*** So this may only be conjecture but I heard some gentleman saying something Something about he bought his wife a flawless six carat diamond ring S**t, sell that ring and feed……. House…… and clothes billions of people and let them praise the rich Or instead purchase a new Ferrari, Lamborghini or Excalibur for your dyed platinum blonde b***h ©2011.…..Phreepoetree If you have the time and the inclination to do so….Google “Water Charity,” and see how profoundly easily you can change one person’s life for a very long time…..Peace out…..Phreepoetree P.S HOW MANY EIGHT YEAR OLDS YOU THINK AIN’T HEARD THE NAME FOR A FEMALE DOG BEFORE AND SOME EIGHT YEAR OLD KID PROBABLY DROPS THE “F” BOMB EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR…..AND I CAN’T even TYPE THE WORD B***h, AND PRECISELY HOW MANY YOUNG CHILDREN, WHEN GRANTED ACCESS TO ANY WEB SITE ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE WOULD COME TO POETRYSOUP TO LOOK AT OUR WORLD ALTERING WORDS ~free cee!~ now kids… get off poetry soup and GO BACK TO PLAYING MARIO BROTHERS.
