Self-righteous people dream luxuries
insist on pension increases, oblivious to
underprivileged needs
self-centred people assert the President
satisfy desire for more provisions
clamour for more than there is
unconcerned that the unemployed
survive through crime, illegal needs
and dreams, condemned to go without
rich demand more benefits – how can
I presume to relay trite, self-centred
requests of the replete
underprivileged cannot eat, nowhere
to sleep - yet affluent complain they cannot
travel, need medicine as they grow weak
I cannot force myself to serve privileged
greed while homeless starve, people
live in opulence ignoring the plight
Of the slums...
