Charity

Police brutality...tempers flare...
the rich continue seemingly without any care.
The rich get richer...
while the poor get poorer...
Is there any end to this terrible horror?
Marches on capitals...looting and riots...
what happen to the days when the streets were once quiet?
Families go hungry and their powers shut off...
how does one handle such a tremendous loss?
High unemployment...but l lets not forget...
we also are fighting a thing called Covid.
Over 200,000 souls have already been lost...
how many more will have to pay such a high cost?
While politicians continue to act like big babies...
some fighting so much...you'd think they had rabies.
Just as many start to loose hope...
some hero's emerge to help them all cope.
These people give and they give...then give even more...
I know God will bless them...
of that I am sure.

Congress makes me the maddest... Those arrogant folks feed at the public trough, and then bite the hand that feeds them. They are feckless at best. Tell it like it is, Pam! ~ Gershon
