Poverty
A Poem by Erundur Anwamehtar
02/29/2004
the dissatisfaction that haunts the most
isn’t with authority
it’s the anarchy, the anarchy within
chains, chains, cannot change this pain to profit
joy has no hold, better decisions are not bold
many languish hating the poverty around them
there’s a better way, a better way, one way
to end the poverty
capitalism can’t save us, communism escapes us,
we need a better way, a better way
to end the poverty
sweating blood, sweating blood alone
nothing would get done if he didn’t go farther
the better way, the one way
there’s a better way, one way
to end this poverty
the starvation of our souls
find the way to make us whole
Cal, once again you’ve amazed me with your writing skills! Awesome stuff. Also, great insight into the Eldredge stuff. Interesting for me to read as a woman trying to deal with the men in my life. I need to read that book (I’ve been saying that for so long!) Thanks!
