unknown am i


Unknown am I
In this world,
This globe 
Seems to take
And yet never 
Returns a hand
To the poor,
This life is short
And money lost,
My wallet small
And coins taken,
I feel as slave;
That's what I am,
I am unknown 
To the rich all,
Every day's 
A struggle, 
A struggle to find, 
To find the table,
To find movement,
I have no car,
While you live
With almost thirty,
I sometimes starve
While you're eating,
You seem very greedy,
Or maybe just uncaring,
I am unknown to you
And your friends,
This may be 
For every hour,
This may stay
For every decade,
I am a worker
And a citizen,
I care for all
And live in poverty!
