Designed For More
Hope can transform dreams into
tall towers of steel and glass.
But technology breeds greed;
and no one gets a free pass.
Hunger stalks reality;
armed with the pain that it brings.
And edging insanity;
puppets dance in tangled strings.
Within high society;
curbside beggars don't exist.
For they get swept out of sight;
with just enough to subsist.
The homeless frighten the rich,
schooled in the art of deceit.
For they fail to understand,
why people live on the street.
Wealthy folks safely nestled;
don't worry about the poor.
And yet, the tragedy is;
their hearts were designed for more.
