Images of the imigrants under the bridge in Del Rio Texas prompted this poem. I am also doing a series of poems on Wrongs. Hopefully there will be more to follow.
“Wrongs” A million feet marching A million feet bleeding A million feet searching Marching for life Bleeding from war Searching for beds What is this for? They have nothing left Why did they lose? The sun no longer shines There are earthquakes, floods and fires. There are wars, crime and hate A million feet marching The sky no longer bright There is drought, pestilence, and starvation There is sickness, illiteracy and poverty A million feet bleeding No stars in the night There is politics, greed and wealth There is abuse, disease and deadly shots in the dark A million feet searching There is............. $200,000,000 on a space flight of four There could be.............. $20,000 each to 10,000 under a bridge in Del Rio Is there anything wrong With this picture? How insanely stupid are we?
