the poor in our midst

 


The poor in our midst

Struggling to earn their living

The morning and night

Sometimes they are hungry


Sometimes a meal a day

Drinking tap water to quench thirst

The world they see

It is the unkind cut in their eyes


Contrast to the protestors

Fighting for Palestinians

But in their back-yard they forget

Because of 2R blooming in their minds


The poor in our midst

The politicians don't say much

They live in their world

They hardly talk of the poor


The cash money in programs

It isn't the solution

It will not last

It is just a political tool


The poor in our midst

The protestors don't see

Mad Ani sent $200 million away

So he could get his publicity
