A sad indictment on society

Sadly we see

Within society

A lack of equality

That’s unfair on people in need

Where people sleep homeless on the streets

Even advanced and wealthy countries this I seen

This is a failure without a doubt

And a real lack of humanity

I see people trying hard to help them out

While government does not do anything

Except pass laws to make peoples lives harder

Shoulder the debt theat they’ve incurred

Meanwhile they sit sipping champagne

These people truly have a nerve

And lack compassion saying you get what you deserve

It takes all my strength not to curse

At these suits born into privilege

Never had to scrimp and scrape to live

It’s sad in our societies seeing people in need because of other people’s greed.

  1. It’s so weird how this is a topic I literally just wrote about from my own perspective. Great points, and thoughtful poem. Check out my post that is similar to this one, it’s called privileged.

  3. Yes, it’s hard to see, and know that something could be done that isn’t being done on a wider scale. Thankfully, I will never have to live under a bridge myself. I will however do what I can personally to help where I can, knowing after doing lots of volunteer work, that jobs/careers would be lost if the streets were cleaned up, and that’s why nothing seems to ever change. Sadly, it’s all about the money!
