Description
In my little world
Everyone is scurrying
Always worrying
How they are going to make it
From day to day
There are no kings or queens
In my little world
Only paupers and slaves
From birth to the grave
The whole world is a descendant to Cain
Nobody wants to be their brothers keeper
So everyone turns their heads
To avoid the living dead
Immune to their cries
As they walk by
So they order their pizza delivery
And check out what’s on HBO
While a child
Climbs in the back seat
And rolls up her bedroom window
To keep out the cold
I had a friend call me the other day to invite me over. What I didn’t know is for most of the last year she was homeless living in a broken down van. We worked in the saw mill together making good money and when it went down she just never recovered good. Now she is getting SS and has a little place to live but I am always amazed how fast things can change for people. That is what boggles my mind when people don’t care because they just never think it can happen to them.

How very true. Unfortunately there's a saying or definition, if you will: There is a difference between a Recession and a Depression: A recession is when your neighbor loses his job A depression is when you lose your job! I am glad that your friend is doing better and I wish only the best for her. Great words
This speaks to me more than your others. Today I am six months unemployed but next month I'll be retired so I'll be ok. I've thought a lot about how "good Christians" have reacted lately to women in wheel chairs and young mothers with sick children. I wish they would read Matthew 25:40 and 25:45 and consider where they are headed. "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
Very thought provoking and very true superb writing hugs lou x
So very true my friend.....great poem Randy.
So much to think about....nobody cares until it happens to them.People think they are invinsable.Every hardship makes us better people i believe......beautiful poem.
Sadly this happens to many. Boy do I know how one day things are great, and within seconds everything seems at a loss. WONDERFUL poem Randy. Very touching. Hugs, Rain
Excellent work, Randy. I like it when you branch out into these sorts of topics.
In this day of mass communication and insulated lives, misery is both more apparent and more distant. Wonderful work! The third line in the last stanza is a great punch to the gut.
