The Poor's Exit Door
The Poor's Exit Door
The sign is painted red,
but what does it mean?
Probably the exact opposite,
of what is painted green.
Maybe that is only in
the traffic lights flashing.
Or the signs about direction,
green enters as reds exiting.
It doesn't matter which way you
go in through the out door.
No matter where you find yourself,
people will always look for more.
So you better beware of just,
what it is you have in store.
The poor feed the rich,
and the poor feed the poor...
