Passersby pay no attention to another's needs....


Poem Artwork

What keeps you here


            on dirt


            trodden by sandaled feet


You wait for more


            to walk by—


            They don’t.


All have passed and you sit


            eyes slits


            full of painful knowledge


            what went before you


Wait no more, child


            Take heed of history


            know the past


            live the future undaunted


                        by fear.


Head high—


            Rise


            Speak


            Teach
