Everybody knows
Everybody knows
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
Sometime we need to learn emotion and feelings
from people who lived a long life.)
Must decide to fill gas tank or pay bills. “Poor cities in the USA are getting the left over.”
Do you give a shit?
The bloody rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.Gas companies made biggest profit the past year ever by sucking the last dollar and hope
from the people. The oil company sells us the oil they bought six months or more ago at highest price they can get and no-one cares..
Where are you Mr. President?
“Was the fight already fixed.”
We have a rich man president?
Everybody knows.
House representatives. 435 men and woman.
I saw your budget.
1.1 billion for food and office.
2.3 million per representative to live on.
How many people have nothing in your states?
How many people are homeless?
Are the schools teaching the future of the USA properly?
Do you walk your streets and see the pain?
No equality in the USA yet.
Babies being born in the poor cities.
With one foot in the grave at the beginning.
Wars are being fought.
No-one knows why we are fighting anymore?
Contractors got 465 billion dollars and cost of war over a trillion.
The rich man knows why.
Poor man born to serve at eighteen.
Hell of a world!
When going to war is better than to swim in the waste and shit.
Senate.
I won’t waste words on them.
I hear “here or there of them.”
A group of useless people serving their needs.
I pray
I pray to the sky, the water and the earth.
Sent wisdom to the men in-charge.
Please insure all children have food in their belly.
Please lord of life and earth.
Insure all children have a warm bed to sleep in.
Please lord.
Give opportunity and strength to the people in need.
We need a miracle.
War and hate are controlling my world.
Please sent some Angels of love and peace to aid.
We could use them today.
Thank you
I awoke with fear.
I fear for tomorrow.
What will our children have left?
What have we done?
I hated my father for doing nothing.
Now am I any better?
I believe I did less.
Will my children despise me for doing nothing.
It is time to yell.
Write to the leaders. All of them.
Demonstrate in the streets.
Gas prices will be $4.00 a gallon.
Poor man will pay for the greed of the rich man controlling the USA.
Everybody knows.
Does anyone care?

Cohen is the man. His music had motivated me since 1976. I saw in concert in Germany twice in 1978 and in 1979. Four hours of amazing music. Thank you for reading and the comment.

They have no idea the complete desperation under which millions of families live, I mean survive. One report I read is that 70% American families live paycheck to paycheck(if they even have an employed family member). Why are there 3 different levels of Obama insurance plans? You get what you can afford- shouldn’t there be one plan equal for all and sliding scale premiums ? In Miami 1 in 4 families are under poverty line.

When opportunities are limited. Hard choices for the young people. Must move toward the work or wait it out. Whole world is in trouble. Writers on this site from Spain. They tell me hard times for them and the people around them. Time for comment sense summit. All money must have value and be controlled properly. Need good jobs and opportunity for our kids. Thank you for the comment. I do appreciate.
