A Penny for Your Thought

What if I told you,
that hunger can be eradicated.
Homelessness too,
sit back and become educated.
Only an estimated $160.00 annually.
Would have to be given,
to intervene manually
upon an individual in extreme poverty living.
In just a decade we could defeat hunger.
A decade and homelessness is gone.
Come on folks, no ones getting younger
let’s get this battle line drawn!
First we have to eliminate the middle man.
This is easier with our technology.
Come let’s see how we shall began,
to get to were we owe no one an apology.
Company’s that are given federal money,
to pass out the allotted fund.
Pay each employee first, isn’t it funny.
No, it needs to be shunned.
Here’s a simple solution,
that takes out any cost.
Give the hungered homeless some attribution,
and help them find what society in them has lost.
Create an app or bank and card,
which can automatically transfer,
(Middleman becomes barred),
However you’d prefer.
Wow that didn’t seem hard.
Now let’s set the rest up,
with the app and your bank card.
As these funds we roundup.
Select your choice,
on how much is to be given.
This is your voice,
so that everyone has a better living.
This is to ensure that everyone will assist.
From the wealthy,
to each awardee, no one is missed.
Or left unhealthy.
With only a penny out of each transaction,
within the United States alone.
Would become tens of thousands of dollars a day in action.
If only someone had known...
But the leaders of the world were told,
a half a decade ago through emails.
As I was hungered and cold,
I fought for the frail.
My fight isn’t over,
it’s only begun.
As societies begin their changeover,
the hungered homelessness should be NONE!!!
A penny for your thought,
and a dime for your time.
A better way I sought,
For humanity to become sublime.

Intriguing poem. Sounds like you are thinking this through. Maybe find a platform to convince others and get input of others. The Bible does say take oare of the poor many times. Being a nurse in my life, I have seen how being poor affects someone's chances of good health. Wish you the best.
Thank you. I was a 5 year homeless veteran and in that time I seen and felt all the issue that plague the poor. I am still fighting for the hungered homeless. I sent a letter to the White House over this thought hopefully it gets a response
I hope so. My husband and I donate to 2 churches that support the poor. Wish you the best, keep on trucking. Thank you for your service, too. We have several veterans in our families.
Thank you for giving, please keep doing so. The need is great, although the rewards of these gifts are never seen by the mortal eye, but given directly from our Heavenly Father.
Sounds like a plan but needs "good policing" - I believe, in general, to lift poverty is to offer "the fishing rod, not the fish".
Damn good fish quote Yiyan ;)... This is a deserving poem as well. Great Write, a call to action? Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea.
Thank you. I wrote it as a hungered homeless person half a decade ago. I also sent every world leader this simple plan to assist in the poverty battle. And yes his fish quote is great and on point.
So it's your challenge then xLOL I would't want to catch "The Fish of the Sea" ... ;))
XD.... I wouldn't you to catch me either...
This is not my first poem on this. If you look at “United” it goes into more detail.
This is providing the rod, as more time will be allotted for education instead of seeking shelter or searching food. This was the soul purpose of creating society itself. And we’ve lost that single purpose but with our technology we can regain it. An app that automatically withholds a penny or the lowest denomination of currency or your choice of how much to withhold from each purchase and automatically distribute to those living in poverty. Thank you for the comments it shows the read was understandable.
awesome pen! So full of wisdom.
Thank you so much. Hopefully it’s seen and used as intended.
