Poem of the Day


The Dead Awaken

 

 

 

The executives are protesting

Against those who do not want war.

Their picket signs have dollar signs

They will be heard.

The rich want even more

They too will be heard.

 

The homeless man wants to eat

He will not be heard.

The soldiers die

They will not be heard.

The women and children die

They will not be heard.

 

The Chief Executive orders us

To spend more

He assures us the war

Is good for America.

 

The executives all cheer

And the dead awaken.
