Welfare State
Hunger is painted on your face
and on all those
who look like you
There are others making do
with what they got
reaching deep in their
not so deep pockets for you
Time is not precious for those
living below the line
I used to tell my so-called
drinking buddies
but the best they could do
is drink to your health
on any given Sunday
