Stopped at a light~
All four corners
stand souls with signs.
Cars and trucks
whizzing by
while HUMANS wait
on a coin or a bill…
The wealthiest country
history has known
stand the faceless souls
day after day.
Curled up in corners
sleeping in a box
standing in lines
for a hot box.
Don’t look at them
don’t speak
walk faster
we have shopping to do
and,
lunch is waiting.
Racing by
appeases the guilt?
Blame the lost
the Lonely
the Hungry
the Hurting.
Take the easy way
turn your head
close your heart?
City lights shine
as the under belly
Grows
it could be us
it already is
Don’t look
Don’t speak
tears blur
those
city lights…
