UNWRITTEN WAR By John W Townsend    Share    Print Save  Author Tracker

Mental war

There is trouble inside

beating like a drum

soldierless battle

the victim almost outrun.

Overtaken by debt

hunger and pain

the fight almost gone

watches the rich

heading home from a show

hand outstreached

no mercy returns

sleeping beneath cardboard

a victim of life.

An unwritten war

mental states of mind

unable to change

in a world gone blind,

with no hearing ears

when the rights of a free man

become erased from law

he is called a vagrant

whom we want

not on our door.
