It’s only bad if you know it’s bad. <br /> <br />Do you ever wonder why <br />We hide the disenfranchised and the lost? <br />The sundered and the pariahs <br />The freaks and the lepers <br /> <br />It’s so we can help the nearly doomed and in doing so, tell the well off its ok. <br /> <br />You can have a voice if you nearly have nothing. <br />But if you really have nothing <br />You are <br />Society’s ghost. <br /> <br />Because it’s only bad if you know it’s bad. <br /> <br />Eat from a bin and nobody wants to know <br />Appear on TV because you can’t quite stretch <br />Your benefits to the end of the month <br />And everyone wants to know. <br /> <br />Just so we can help the nearly doomed and in doing so, tell the well off its ok.<br /><br />Bukowski's Ghost<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-only-bad-if-you-know-it-s-bad/
