I DAER NOT SPOIL IT FOR YOU ...A POEM FOA ALL TIMES

THE BELLY OF THE CITY No need to speculate on the causes 

Neglect exposes the corridors of the mind 

No wonder crude images prevail with no 

accuracy about the poor 

The homeless with no responsibility 

Government supper, private food, drink, 

and shelter 

Never a responsibility to either the giver 

or the receiver 

Is this the nature of man, his built, of freedom 

and of God? 

Without a theory that transforms; we give and 

receive in vain 

To transform them into nameless nomads 

In the belly of the city.
