Where have you been? <br />What is now being discussed... <br />Has disgusted us for years. <br /> <br />Oh... <br />That's right. <br />Your life wasn't being affected. <br />I was one of 'those'... <br />And you were part of the collective 'them'. <br /> <br />These issues were raised when the homeless hit the streets. <br />When hunger in the urban cities left many with nothing to eat. <br />Remember when you would drive by... <br />With your nose in the air and your car doors locked? <br />You do remember my interview... <br />For a job you told me my credentials were over the top. <br />You told me I was over qualified. <br />And I thought to myself... <br />'Qualified, you were not! ' <br /> <br />Where have you been? <br />What is now being discussed... <br />Has disgusted us for years. <br />Those of us thrown crumbs to survive. <br />While you jeered us with your peers. <br /> <br />And now your tears display bigger drops as they fall. <br />Aren't you the one 'connected'? <br />I'm sure those thieves will not allow you to crawl. <br />Afterall... <br />You did tell me, <br />I was over qualified! <br />And all this time you had the gift of clairvoyance. <br />No better time than now, <br />Do you have to express this gift. <br /> <br />I see you sobbing uncontrollably! <br />What about you? <br />What do you see?<br /><br />Lawrence S.
