Minimum Rage

Reach into my pocket, take
my last dollar; I don't mind
while you raise your salary
and keep mine below the
poverty line.
Reach into my pocket, take
my dignity; I don't mind
struggling to survive while
you muddy my head with the
soles of your feet.
Reach into my pocket, take
what little I have; I don't mind
supporting the rich on what's
supposed to be a living wage...
but isn't.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

Very well said, Karla. The emotional turmoil of the injustice in society and the resignation that comes with it comes through as a strong message.
Love and Hugs, B&R

Most of us can relate Karla, because the line is so fine between those who make the laws and those who break them. The injustice in this world can only be resolved by the next world when Creator will mete out justice....Great poem!...

Ya know...when the time comes...you will benifit for eternity while those that take advantage here on earth will have what their short lived lives gave them. In the long run...you're much better off. I'd like to suggest that you go on the web and send this as an editorial comment to all major newspapers in the country.
Love and peace.
