poverty at its worst

Location

a man urinating on the bottom of a root 

where a tree cultivates from photosynthesis

but instead my introduction to this thesis

is why inject nature with liquid that evaporates smell of disgust in the air

 

a woman screaming political conspiracy theories

on why life isn't fair

the problem is that one, you can barely understand her

her mumble of words and sounds

remind me of today rappers who overly commercialize

moronic music that inspire today's generation

to dumb down in order to fit in

 

there's a guy that stumbles on to benches 

in train stations

and yet people sit on wandering why their bodies begin to itch

part of it is bedbugs

but it also germs from a homeless person that penetrates infection

to a person's vulnerable body

 

another man is screaming get out of my way

in rage 

but there's nobody around

and he aboards the train

with intention to harm someone with  no remorse

brain functions continue to deteriorate into veggie state

where his life died

 

instead of investing more money to building jails

let's use those fundings to create mental health clinics

to help those with mental disorders

provide a shelter where no one has to sleep with no shoes

on the side of the street

and a cardboard box to symbolize a blanket

that can keep them warm for what its worth

please help them so no one get the wrong impression

and puts two bullets in their heads
