Storehouses full of food,

while people can’t find anything to eat

Homes sitting vacant,

while people sleep on the streets.

Lifesaving medicines,

just sitting on the shelves.

“Oh, you have no money?

Sorry, can’t help!”

“Move along now, get out of the way,

for someone who can actually pay.”

[Homeless Man]

But I’m dying here,

what else am I supposed to do?

I’m asking for help,

what if it was you?

I’m cold, hungry, and sick,

and have nowhere to turn,

Hoping for some compassion,

but no one seems concerned.

I applied for assistance,

but they said no.

My options have run dry,

where am I to go?

Flew a sign that said:

Homeless, Hungry & Humiliated

Any help you can give,

is very much appreciated.

Sir, can you help me out,

I’m in quite a pickle.

Anything helps,

even just a nickel.

“Get a job you lazy bum,

ain’t nothing free.

You did this to yourself,

now get away from me.”

So here we are,

see what we have become.

So much pain and suffering,

to which society has become numb.

We’ve become a society,

that can’t afford to care.

We’ve created a flawed system,

that is unjust and unfair.

If even one person goes without,

the basic needs to survive.

Society as a whole,

can never truly thrive.

The system doesn’t work,

we must change it now.

And through government,

is the only way how.

A simple system redesign,

is all we need to do.

To one that cares for the masses,

instead of only a few.

We need a new economy,

one that lifts everyone up.

One that doesn’t knock people down,

because they’re down on their luck.

The LOVE System,

is what I recommend.

A way to solve all the problems,

and bring suffering to an end.
