the starving child you saw on your tv screen, <br />the one that made you turn the channel. <br />the old homeless man who tried to bum a dollar <br />when you were pumping gas... <br />whose hands were shaking, <br />who smelled like trash, <br />who you made fun of when you left... <br />the one you gave 50 cents to, <br />just to get away from... <br />the young painted up girl you called a whore, <br />the guy strung out on pills <br />buying groceries with food stamps... <br />the veteran who came home <br />to find his family gone.... <br />no job, no home, he blew his brains out! <br />the gay boy who slit his wrists, <br />tired of being bullied. <br />the old couple evicted broke and sick.... <br />the bodies of women and children killed by the drones, <br />the young man in prison who just got gang raped. <br />the disabled woman you cursed when she made your change, <br />the old man buying dog food who doesnt have a dog... <br /> <br />well, you wanted to know what god looks like!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-wanted-to-know-2/
