Billy Thekidster Poet Rhyme

Nobody Cares

A homeless man broke his legs falling through an abandoned building's stairs,
but sadly however, nobody cares.
A mother can't feed her children because her pantry is bare.
Sadly however, nobody cares.
Our children are dying in a war over there
deceived into believing that we're liberating a people lost in despair.
The truth is corporate giants want control of the oil over there
and war is also big business for these giants once it's declared.
Our children are  being slaughtered  and maimed for oil and profit 
as the sinfully rich get richer with every military revenue deposit.
How could all of this continue to go on with so many being aware?
Most shamefully it appears that nobody cares.

Audrey Haick December 1, 2010 at 9:02 PM This is shameful Bill..in 2000 years the world has not changed much. The greed, selfishness, corruption has just expanded, reaching every corner of the earth. When an 18 year of kid is enticed into fighting a war with the promise of an education which his parents can't afford what's he going to do, but take the chance. It is still murder by default. Love, Audrey P.S. Happy Holidays to you too. Thnx for the Fw Billy.
