tidy

poverty a blight 
a dustpan for the fight
keep our cities clean 

armed with will and might
the Israelis got it right
strategy obscene 

burn them in their tents
bid vermin good riddance
best not to be seen

Maureen, there are people here who have started to make being homeless a crime. Rather strange indeed. Thinking that we can fix something by hiding it rather than addressing the cause in the first place. You are a wonderful poet!!
