illusion of Wealth

Overworked,
Underpaid,
underfed,
Overworked,
Underpaid,
Creepin things
around my bed,
Overworked,
Underpaid,
police fly by
everyday,
Overworked,
Underpaid,
next door got
robbed yesterday,
Overworked,
Underpaid,
she couldn't
feed her babe,
Overworked,
Underpaid,
sickness spread
numbering the dead,
overworked,
not paid,
she lost her job and
daughter yesterday

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
