Injustice - My Spirit

Their craving eyes watch hungrily As food goes down the drain, Their half-torn, old and dirty clothes Are drenched by pouring rain. They never have a resting place, Or something close to 'home', They have no proper livelihood - On worn-out streets they roam. People think they aren't of use, Some even call them 'unwanted', Still, there are some who will look past that, And try to help them, undaunted. I hope, that one day, all this ends - That 'discrimination' isn't a word, And I know inside, my wish will come true - The 'poor' will change the world. For 'SHOW ME YOUR SPIRIT' Contest

What power in your words, Sneha. Gives me hope that perhaps the youth will rise up and change the mess we have made of the world. Wonderful write. Good messages... if you wrote a book, it would sell well :D Hugs, CYndi

Yes it reminds me of "The meek shall inherit the world" I sure do hope so . I am sick of people who spend in one day what my husband and I take a whole year to make in salary. There is such a disparity in incomes in this world. It should not be this way. So sad. Great poem!!

Visiting your poems for the first time and loving this recent one. It is a sad but true fact of life today-- especially n the third world countries and our country.. South Africa. We can only make a difference where we are.. one at a time...to prevent becoming overwhelmed with the suffering of others.
