Occupy

I don’t live in a tent But in my heart I too occupy Part of the everyday 99% Perturbed, precarious nation Leaders ambivalent and anti compromise Poor schoolchildren denied Welfare women restricted Diminished services for sick and elderly “We can’t afford it! While those who deny live lofty Not yet gnawed by hunger, cold and no roof” To protest, demonstrate First Amendment – peaceably Healthy youth, aged, homeless Misfits -all More than just a right Ignorance, inaction left a vacuum In tents or on the square Peacefully or under arrest Regain respect Have the rich pay their share For teachers, police You bankers atone for greed! As profits mount for the 1% We can’t all be hypocrites Where is the fairness? Where is the justice? Where is the future, our tomorrow? Do you hear us? You can see us – And we can see you too! I really don’t have to occupy you I am a resident I am here to stay Can you see and hear me now? - - - - - - - - For more visit www.poetrypearls.com Follow me on Facebook and Twitter or download my eBooks at www.amazon.com or www.smashwords.com
