IGNORANCE AND WANT...by talile ali
I was struck numb
By the blatantly clear perspective
Of the words and ideas from
A Christmas Carol.
How can it be that with all of this understanding
About attending to the needs of the masses
For it enhances our ability to be nurtured and advance
Be discarded as some fallacy perpetuated by some dumb-classes
Apparently
We still need some reminding.
We should not need to be scared as
Ebenezer Scrooge was in his findings
We should do it because
We desire our society
To be more than it is
At present
All but a few at the top
with the majority
serving them
all peasants
Kennedy made a pledge
And set a goal for a nation
To walk on the moon
And we did, dude
We need to set a goal for ourselves
That no person in the USA
Is without shelter, fair medical care,
A job, and food
Is this really too much to do?
For me?
For you?
Then who are we listening to?
