the struggling poor

the struggling poor

A Poem by Andrew Sav Halen
"

I am poor so this is a reflection of how I feel.

"
they said it was in our lore
to be a struggling poor

the guy that never sleeps
that never eats

will we escape the destiny we meet

still we eat meat raw
never cause trouble
yet they say we have no regard for law

say whatever you say
your masters you will obey

don't act like you ever saw
the freedom in my eyes

it's your future you can only deny

as we do our best
so you could never be our guest
