Literature Text

In slum jungles
wars rage throughout eternity

Mothers pray for their children
and go to church

But few really want to


The rich minority
terrorises the poor majority

They call it
Peace, Justice and The American Way


For some
a little knowledge is a dangerous thing

A lesson the others should not forget

Supposed good intentions
from those that be called politicians


The Old get jumped
by the one they call Dr. Death

And the government call it Social Security


Gangs offer the poor
protection from themselves

And Mr. Fear be knockin’ at the door
every day


Dr. Death’s brother
which be called Harsh Reality
knocks the lower classes down


And the medicine men
call it

Sleep
RESUBMISSION

Note: Written over 20 years ago by me during rather bleak period growing up...
