Best Social Welfare Poems

The common vulture shows it's greedy face
and that's what our culture must soon erase.
My countrymen, I spy, with quickened pace,
the eagle gives chase, the eagle gives chase.

I don't agree with the socialist thrust
that the government's a god we should trust.
When one has clout, a master...

A PEACEFUL ARMY

Special soldiers went to war
Some being not so young.
Enlisted to do their duty,
But would never fire a gun.

They wore a different uniform,
Which displayed a red shield.
This was the Salvation Army
On the lines of each battlefield.

They were a different army,
And often would work alone.
A...

In the rough, cold pavement they sleep 
Prone to the elements that drain them deep 
A harsh concrete jungle where they live 
Their lives subsist on people who give

They are children with adolescent minds 
Roaming the streets is their daily grind 
At red lights they...

Sewing machine, long idle, gathered dust;
it's now a desk which seems a breach of trust.
Clothes made at home had always been a must.  
Married in the "dirty thirties" hard years 
for dust bowl folk who stayed despite the jeers.
Dependence on social welfare brought tears...

surrounded by the blue frame

below the picture
an issued words for rinsing out that hands

and he had flowers germinated above his hands
as possibility to...

If there comes a day
when the preacher's politicians
control the state
Phinehas will rise from his grave
round up the gays
and send them down 
to Guantanamo Bay
to entertain the Muslims.
The Kingdom's minions 
will hammer in the heads
of our tender young 
the creation in seven drub
social welfare is evil
and...

The world of business 
is riddled with traps
I tried to start
an intenent business

So good were their words
we make money 
when you make money
the promise of lies

Internet scams 
poor people trying 
to make at the expense
of someone else

of course, it was a scam 
Financially I am...

I don't really want to cripple the church
I realize that the Pope and the church have problems
Imagine in his position
all the expenses of the church

The budgets, electricity 
building maintenance wages
costs of administration
Granted the disciples

used to spend
the tithe on themselves
buying food and paying 
for the costs...

The war games
  
Yesterday afternoon in Finland, as happy people walked about
content in their world of social welfare and full employment
a train loaded with armoured tanks was seen heading for 
the Russian border as spring light danced on the lakes.
What do I know, that...

in search of better life and his father.
Challenged by life, he was supported by his mother.

He had little or no formal education,
started working at age 8 as a street vendor,
and then as a...

and not for the few,

Not quite a slave 

After war number 2 when the time was hard and
oil was undiscovered, hidden under deep waters 
when our town stank of stale fish oil and people
made their booze called “sats” guaranteed
free of constipation for a lifetime.
The Social Welfare Council did not...

They call it social welfare
when it is for the poor 
To help the ones who have grown old 
or sick and have no cure 

They scream they don’t want taxes 
and the richest scream the most 
But it is just a game of words 
they...
