"Our Poor Have No Race

Country or Religion"


by Judy Joy Jones




the poorest of the poor

dying alone

in the night

have no race

country or religion


they suffer because

they need

food shelter

and medical care


which are

what every

human being

must have

to stay alive


and can only

be provided

thru the

loving hands

of you and i


our brothers sisters

children and babies

dying on cold

concrete streets

all over earths shores


are beggin

for someone

to hear and care

if they live

thru the cold

dark nite

You have presented this tragedy in a most precise and powerful way. The brevity alone has no excess or exaggeration. It isn’t gushy or preachy in my eyes. Instead I find focus and truth in your ribbon of hand-selected words. These lines especially = truth: “they suffer/because they need/“. Key word being ‘need,’ not ‘want.’ Such a gentle but momentous piece. ~~ djl
