Jesu Johnson Poet Verse

Those Funny Things

Isn't the world a funny place??????.
A man once asked me,
with a frown upon his face.
I kinda put on a smile,
but a dazed and confused look soon followed.
Then out of no where,
he screamed and he shouted,
what of tommorrow??????
do you feel me????
smell me??????
as If he hadn't showered.
My face soured.

Placing his hand out for my last two bits,
he looked at me and said,
Is this it??????

After the encompassing question I've asked????
taking the coinage from my hand really fast.

Then with a brisk wind,
monumental thoughts,
they all begin,
to swirl around in my mind,
too many to comprehend,
all at one time.

But one  it seems ,
did prevail.
LOUD,
like his words,
that I could tell.

Isn't it funny,
how we have money for war,
yet we rather see people starving, homeless,
and functionally poor.

Isn't it funny,     
how we spend billions,
to go to the moon, someday to mars
to space explore,
but can't take a minute to honor,and cherish, 
earth's citizens forever more.

Is it funny????,
now that is the question at hand,
NAWWWWW the answer isn't,
don't you understand??????
