Satisfied

Life's satisfactions have eluded many As the breadcrumbs are not enough To build a house of inspired children Not so bent on continuing the cycle of suffering It's not their fault that they are not motivated Because their diet does not include vitamins and minerals It's just a load of carbohydrates To get them through the day Raise your hand If you have gone a day without food Raise your hand if you can go a week without food Now listen and listen hard It's imperative that our voice is clear Poverty is not a disease It's a constructed system of social hierarchy The poor, middle-class, the rich and the wealthy First world and third worlds All forms of systemic injustices Laws enacted to continue the status quo Policemen in every corner of the streets To stop the rebellious poor Where are the police when corruption is reported? They are nowhere to be found Because it's the poor they are looking for Now let's advocate for the enactment of a law That forbids poverty That is totally against inequality To be enforced by the police Then I will be satisfied ©
