families falling apart, <br />together... <br />jobs lost, houses lost... <br /> <br />pooling what little <br />they have left... <br />just holding on. <br /> <br />no insurance, <br />mailbox money, <br />food stamps, and <br /> <br />whatever they can scuff. <br />travelling in beat up old cars, <br />or walking... nowhere to go. <br /> <br />same clothes they wore yesterday, <br />and the day before... <br /> the youngest daughter's pregnant, <br /> <br />again... but hell, <br />they're passing out cheese <br />and potatoes at the church.... <br /> <br />Jesus died for their sins, <br />but no one else knows their names!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/families-falling-apart-together/
