    Speaking out about our poverty stricken lives...

    If It Was Up To Me

              
    If it was up to me....
    I would speak out....
    For all of us....
    What can't they see...


               What am I saying....
    Poverty is taking over ......
    Most of our lives.....
    Poverty the rich are playing...


                Playing us like slaves...
          Not enough to go around....
                  Being poor is not bad....
            But we work to stay more then poor ..

                      We work to stay in poverty...
                            We work to struggle....
                     For what they buy.....
                 I'll never stop until I die....

                     Stop what?
                 Trying to speak out......
                         For us.....
            The ones who make them rich.....

    I feel much like you. America seems to be turning into a society with the upper class and the lower classes. Schools seem to be headed toward producing blue collar workers while the elite with money go to private schools to learn to be citizens of the world.

    Sad reality...My idealistic side sees how much we can create with the resources we used instead to destroy and just wants to scream. We all get a lifetime, but only some of us are lucky enough to be given lives.

    Thank you for reading and commenting... Love and peace

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
