Poorly Misunderstood

By Anthony Anthem

By Anthony AnthemPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

All I see is a war with the poor

In the face where they close the door

Slamming and damaging so many hearts right at their core

It's like their not human no more

They see them like walking dead

Like they're a disease, they just want shelter plus get fed.

Where I am from with cold winters ahead

Tent cities increasing with tread

Overcrowded shelters no beds

No place for laying their heads

Where disease is easy to spread

When they need physical and mental health, treatment and meds.

Veterans with PTSD

Where's the government when their in need

Save the children? When will they eat?

To me its all just just speak

cause it seems like it's on repeat.

I’m saying Talk is cheap.

A lifetime is expensive

A waste of words is dismissive
