Val Brooklyn Rogers Blk Panther Poet Prose

Vagabond's Friend

Can you persuade a nickel to become a dime?
Give a quarter if you care about the vagabond at the corner
Would you stop and give a damn?

Can you convince a dollar to magically transform into 10 dollars 
Then give it to a woman collecting bottles and cans  and every
Day for the rest of your life, smile and give her more if you can afford

Does it cause you illness to converse on such a thing?
Or would you persecute and abolish a practice absolutely absolute?
Can you even compose such a THOUGHT to put WANT at ease?

Let's see pass the buck, don't UP CHUCK
I've seen a man who had to throw his DIGNITY into the
Garbage bin just to retrieve a half eaten chicken leg

Maybe I should be his friend but what he really needed
Was a plate of food and a few crisp hundred dollar bills
Neither of which I could afford strange thing is life goes on

As usual the sun keeps rising and shining
Rainbows appear like GOD DOESN'T KNOW
