I talk softly
so only the few hear
walk softly
so I go unnoticed
feel all things
so no one will know
know all things
so they are underwhelmed
suffered for all things
to be who I am
but
The meek
are still
in my sight
I don't
rule as men do
I see the heart
I know your heart
I see the pieces
I see the destroyed
laid waste by the chase for capital from all sides
pence is worth more than blood
children are mere grist for the mill
Where do you on high
think you will hide
on that
day
Do you not think I will remember
do you not think your
deeds done in secret
will one day be made known
will one day be judged
will not one day have witnesses and then and only then
the meek will inherit the earth
and
the poor
the poor
the poor
will rest............

dpg3, haunting poetry dedicated to those unseen and hidden in the tenement halls and alleyways of our land. This really struck a chord with me deeply. I have lived among the poor and still do in this government settlement I call home. I know the struggle not to be seen lest we incur rejectment. But your poem I must say is beyond a statement but reaches into a spiritual realm of poverty that escapes those in the middle class. There is beauty even in the streets.
