Desperate Times
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2009
reading local newspaper
things are getting
bad to worse
marti forman she wrote
"beaten down people
hot tired lost
hopeless poor
unemployed sick
elderly confused
tired keep coming
food bank
overwhelmed scared
very scared"
recovery from
economic ills
slow to come
good times
for many
gone forever
houses gone
cars gone
work gone
loved ones
gone
hope
gone
TV people
read reports
economy recovering
companies post profits
how they wonder
cut costs
cut jobs
cut people
sense of purpose
lost
someone somewhere
needs help
don't look away
ask
how can I
help you today

I like this. Even though it's dark, you leave us with the vision of hope, and that we can do something about it.
Great job!

Sometimes, someone must hear the cry. Thanks for reading it.
