BEHIND THE EYES
OF THE POOR
OF THE POOR
Who’s poor? Who’s rich? Who’s who?
What’s behind the eyes of the poor?
What’s behind the eyes of the rich?
I often wonder.
Who sees the hungry on our sidewalks?
Do they see the eyes of those walking by?
Does everyone see whose my brother?
Who is my sister?
Are those against better minimum wages …?
Are those against health care for all …?
Are those against unions …?
Are those against a New Deal, a Better Deal for...?
Oh, I know, someone says, “It’s socialism.”
Someone says, “It’s none of my business?”
Someone says, “You are my brother!
You are my sister. And God is our Father!”
