Dispossessed

Down and out, destitute 
In dire need , no help or
Support only war or dispute,
Poverty for those we adore,

Overlooked, become invisible 
Spiritually and morally 
Subjected to the impossible 
Exploited so horribly 

Societies lack of conscience 
Subdue emotional control
Ending or to recommence  
Dispossessing  heart and soul.
