Poverty Reigns

the nightmare inhabited

Poverty Reigns

The investment was a loss
In the spell cast
caught in the stream
I found the dream 
Of a beautiful hope 
to galvanize the cost 
And restored my lost
I called you the flame
Where poverty reigns.
And you answered me 
From deep in eternity 
Calling out restlessly. 
unto the hopeful beings 
Struggling with dreams
In a world created
Nightmares inhabited
The tempted atmosphere
with greed and fear 
Too distressed to confess
the pleasure of all interest
desires stained with pain
Where the poverty reign 
By a desperate cry
being thrown in to die
from debt too low
Hands are held high

Hello Gerry...

​​​​​Sounds like people got what they wanted...

Another 4 years of this?

I'm in if you are...

There's still a lot of learning left to be done...

The truth shall set us free...

We must not bring back anything from the past...

Obviously, nothing was working...

People didn't like it and apparently, they didn't have anything worth holding on to...

I heard people made more money...

We know they didn't care about that...

People would rather live under the Rule of Crime that isn't punished...

​​​​​​Safety...

They got rid of that in the Cities from what I've seen and heard...

I can remember good things in the past...

​​​​​​I picked the fight on behalf of those that I didn't truly believe really wanted less...

I was wrong and I was the liar...

​​Maybe, they think I still am...

​​​​​I was planning on voting in 2024...

It's not just my right it's my responsibility...

Something, for the lives that were given up for me to have the right...

A sacrifice of themselves so I can have a Right...

Why would anyone who doesn't know me would do that for me?

I know a lot of people are going to leave it up to the people and just let them pick and not vote...

I'm going to ponder on it...

Many of us will survive...

How difficult could it get?

Easier was taken out too...

What else will they take away?

​​​​​We'll have those answers soon enough, I believe...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...
