Half a Holiday

According to a new census report, 1 out of 2 Americans are living in poverty.
This is only a supplement to a poverty stricken world.

Fake wreaths surround me…
I’m not worth as much as your TV.
Artificial darkness surrounds me,
all I see is poverty.
No dream to cling to,
false promises for families.
Ten cents in a tin can won’t take you
where you need to be.
Just grovel in waste here,
no hope in destiny.
Flee now, to nowhere,
follow a trail of greed.
Substance betrays us, 
wait around but don’t expect to breathe.
