Jobless In Atlanta

Unemployment line
Single file to soup kitchen...
Fear of homelessness

Unemployment line
Cries in emergency room...
Fear, no insurance

Unemployment line
Like a faith-healer's crusade...
Hope to help, heal, house

This is a very strong write. The last stanza is very, very goog. I am in Georgia so this resonated with me.
