Falling

[Robdob]

Detatched from the bossom
it silently falls.
Swirling and whirling,
until it almost
touches the ground.
Then its picked back up
by natures strong hand
and it floats along
across many far land.
It started the journey
pearly white, and prestine.
But now its faded and sick,
from all it has seen.
Hunger and poverty
stricken most land,
and wealthy business exploit it
the best that they can.
Sweat shops and inhuman manual labor,
the poor go back to their shack.
Tired and hungery,
with no money in their sack.
The children are sick
and in dire need of aide
but they receive no attention
because the businessmen have not paid.
The rich laugh, and drink to the occasion, they hit the Fortune 500 mark,
all because of poverty exploitation.
Sad and remorse,
the feather hits the ground.

EveryOne is so concerned with heroine and marijuana,
but they fail to see the most dangerous narcotic that exists.
That is the narcotic that is injected into the minds of infants.
It is called social narcotics.

Nice words, yet sad. Reminds me of how we recently celebrated the anniversary of the Triangle Shirt Waist Company fire in which hundreds of women died because the doors were locked to make them work long hard hours. Though that happened decades ago, a similar event occured only last year in Bangladesh. Such a cruel world.
