In the sky

Cry, only when we want hope,
we I can't see the sky
Mother earth sheds a tear
because you're not there
War for the have not and those who have
As we the chosen children suffer to see
Is greed by those that feed from our demise
The rich and poor scream
but everyone ignores the homeless
Cold and hungry our children
But we want more war
While the winners feed from their win
Only to give more death we can only pray
That even in death we are not like them.

Yes indeed, what a sorry world we presently live in .. Homelessness is one of those things that no one sets out to achieve or to become & in that sense, it is like addiction, in any of its many forms, no one wants to become hooked .. Kind Regards, Neville

I think this has potential, but it needs work.

You need to give it a careful look over.

Not bad writing, though.

[Mauricio Montoya]

Your words true and honest. The poor pay for the greed of war. War is a business today my friend. Powerful and worthwhile words shared.

I agree with you... the homeless are definitely overlooked in this country and more... how they became this way we are not privy....but is is a sad situation... and many of them die from drugs, ill-heath that is not treated...and hunger...they live under highways and in parks, covered with a makeshift tent out of balnkets or sheets...it is a terrible problem and difficult to observe....
Thank you for sharing
Warmly, B

Powerful and poignant. Great work.

Everyone deserves a roof over their head. It appalls me that there is so much homelessness. We have veterans on our streets which is disgusting. No one serving their country should end up in the gutter. There are so many who are incredibly rich while at the other end of the spectrum, there is dire poverty. Your words leave me thinking, we could and should do so much better. Thank you Mauricio.

Hi Chris,, wow thank you for dropping by and your input is great were in this together, the have knots are the poor who want to get rich by any means while we suffer. We have hope because we're not like them thank you for dropping and sharing your thoughts.

Being poor is difficult and homeless even more so. There is a battle among the financial classes and always has been. Greed is a terrible thing.

[Mauricio Montoya]

Yeah its sad I need a little bit of what you write , lol take care and thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[Poetic Beauty]

I have always been a more sensual and passion filled person. I find beauty in small details. Try to find something in the day that gives me pleasure.

sport stars etc. make multi-millions while homeless push shopping carts
We are a warped species

[Mauricio Montoya]
