The homeless sit with signs
on any street corner
visible to the blind
Articles of bad faith
do little to assist
the lowest of the low
Rejects of our families
wandering the cities
neglected without care
Garbage whom collectors
toss away as useless
politicians refined
Elegant in smart suits
notice only problems
concerning their own wealth
Treasures no one else needs
for food clothing shelter
matters not to the rich
Warren Buffett Bill Gates
worse than politicians
they could help restructure
Engineer poverty
save our ships save our souls
lost at sea ebb and flow
As tsunami waters
give way to destruction
love reaches out to share
Love is more than spare change
dropped into paper cups
without even a word
Treat others as ourselves
we break the golden rule
for the sake of our health
Happiness we pursue
costs our society
those left without a stitch
Rumors of solution
to rid One Chicago
of rodents whose nature
Only asks they survive
like fat cats of Wall Street
fed by our own neglect
Deny rats natural
predators leave garbage
feasts watch them multiply
Entertain this logic
cities become corrals
for roaming sheep we herd
No one person can lift
the poor from poverty
the President-Elect
Trump realized his dream
but fumbled the football
left homeless high and dry
