AMERICAN FAMILIES
HOMELESS IN THE STREETS
STARVING SENIORS
MEDICATIONS OR EATS?


Poem Artwork

DYSFUNCTIONALITY
IS AMERICA'S REALITY

AMERICAN'S REALITY
IS A TRAGEDY

IRRATIONAL REALITY
IS AMERICA'S
2005 DYSFUNCTIONALITY

THE USA AND ITS GENEROSITY

TO OTHER COUNTRIES

IS NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY

WHAT ABOUT OUR HOMELESS ON THE STREETS
WHAT ABOUT OUR SENIORS WHO CHOOSE
MEDICATION OR EATS?

THROUGHOUT AMERICAN LAND
THE CITIZENS
MUST MAKE A STAND!
DEMAND OUR GOVERMENT
TO TAKE CARE OF AMERICANS
WHO HAVE OPEN HANDS!

AMERICAN FAMILIES
HOMELESS IN THE STREETS
STARVING SENIORS
MEDICATIONS OR EATS?

FLORIDA MEN AND WOMEN BREAK THE LAW
TO MAKE THE STATE PROVIDE
FREE MEDICAL - DENTAL AND MEALS
AND A ROOF CALLED JAIL
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE
TO KEEP THEM ALIVE!!!

I have found this older poem, a revolted heart that expresses itself.
Money is used for all the wrong things. Wasted.
Young lives are wasted too.
And the Earth is being destroyed.
Who wins? That's a question we might ask ourselves.

In friendship,

Axilea

A poetic compliance to diffuse sense of JUSTICE.

Blessed are those that can stand and voice for the true facts of our realities.

Thank You Poet, for ringing the bells of social responsibility, and for asking for a legal country, where governemet complies with the
CONSTITUTION and CONGRESSMEN MAKE AND ENFORCE THE LAWS, AND PUNISH THOSE THAT HAVE THE MADATE FROM THE PEOPLE, BUT VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - CREATING CONCENTRATION CAMP - ON LEASED LAND FROM COMMUNIST OUTLAWS.

In gratitude and reverent admiration.

I agree with you 100%. Helping others is important but there should be more aid here at home first.

Very interesting perspective, indeed. However, could you explain this line:

FLORIDA MEN AND WOMEN BREAK THE LAW
TO MAKE THE STATE PROVIDE
FREE MEDICAL - DENTAL AND MEALS
AND A ROOF CALLED JAIL
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE
TO KEEP THEM ALIVE!!!

I live just south of you, in Florida, and have been trying to figure out who these men and women are "who break the law in order to provide..." Must have had my head in the sand since the four hurricanes blew in... anyway, this is an interesting perspective and one I heartily agree with. Charity begins at home.

KAREN, VERY GOOD. EXACTLY HOW I FEEL, AND HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS. I HAVE ALSO EMAILED SENATORS, PRESIDENT ETC., ASKING WHY WE CAN'T HAVE FREE MEDICAL LIKE ENGLAND AND CANADA. ANOTHER AREA OF COMICAL NONSENCE IS ARE WOMEN ON WELFARE/FINANCAL AIDE. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE STATES WILL NOT PAY FOR BIRTH CONTROLS BILLS, YET ARE DISCOURAGE WITH THE ABUNDANCE FOR BIRTHS TO THE LOW ENCOMOY? WHAT A JOKE
