POETRY: Who Prays? Who Cries?

10 image for poemFor the homeless man on the street
For the downtrodden who try to
get back on their feet
For the child that doesn’t
have enough to eat
Who Prays? Who Cries?
When they can’t pay their rent
When a couple can’t pay their mortgage and they have to
live in a tent
When people have to beg
for one red cent
Who Prays? Who Cries?
About a person that has given up on
life and doesn’t have any faith
About an elder who has despair stamped on her face
About the senseless economical genocide of our human race
Who Prays? Who Cries?
