Society

In this world around us
Many are quick to place blame,
Its society that made them this way
For it releives them from shame.

Homeless are without a job
Who really know's if its his choice,
Children going without food
People don't even hear their voice.

Our poor senior citizens
Trying so hard to survive,
Our government cutting benefits
Not caring that many aren't alive.

Healthcare now very scarce
Nobody can afford a single pill,
Does anyone really care now
Have we gien up on free will.

Isnt it time for america
To stand and say go home,
Fight your own battles now
We have enough of our own.
