The Poor

I see those soup kitchen people by the door.

They have no key that fits into its bronze lock.

Cold and rain are more bitter for the dirt poor.

All they can afford to do is walk and talk.

They eat and drink from others’ plates and glasses.

Each day goes by, another of them passes.

Will Dives walk past Lazarus every day?

That which is not kept up will quite soon decay.
