A Struggle
I am keeping my head up surrounded by irritation,
confusion, hopelessness and despair...
I weep for the children as some are doomed to
repeat the beaurocratic slavery inherited by their parents.
Innocent faces in degenerative places...its a shame
And I just have to thank God that I'm mentally evolved
The workers appear to be on edge as economic times are at its worst
Producing more and more applicants
which translates into more work.
But hey why be a jerk?
At least you HAVE a job to hate
I just can't relate because finding myself on the other end
having no other choice but to depend on this government.
Man, I can't comprehend
the same government whose policies created
the very fallacies of human indignity
I'm shaking my head and its killing me.
But I sit here and wait
Wait for my governments representative to communicate with me
a kind hearted single mom with an advanced degree.
Ironic to me I have the credentials to have your Supervisor's job
but I'm sitting here with you
and you don't have a clue.
Only one thing left to do
Bow my head and speak to my Almighty Father
For in him I have all I need.
This is merely temporary for me.

I felt you all way through
I felt you all way through this poem and it's the same way I feel. Everybody seems to have the answers but nothings gettin better. I just saw on TV how the poverty rate went up and we still in the riches country in the world. I mean people go to sports events like NFL football games paying $300 or more for a ticket and at same time we got people fighting to survive to live in the same area. I really like poems like this that talk about real life issues. Just about everybody is suffering from this without much hope from the government in over coming it.

You are so right...we have
You are so right...we have vast resources in this country. However, our PRIORITIES are not what they should be. Funny you should mention the professional sports sector. I remember when they were proposing building the new stadium in Philly Lincoln Financial Center, here they could muster up buku bucks to fund this project yet schools in the Philadelphia School District are still not meeting academic standards and lacked educational materials in comparison to some neighboring school districts (outside Philadelphia Metro Area) This situation has a lot of people hurting financially, physically etc.That's why I find writing poetry so therapeutic....I write anywhere whether it be in my journal or on my BB. Funny thing is I was at the CAO when I wrote that poem and instead of giving into the feeling of dread looking at my surroundings I wrote about it.
