Yes, of course,

we, too, care about

a neglected rose struggling to survive

among the scattered bricks

of a crumbling house,

but we’ve already done

all we can.

 

Remember

a child has a tiny voice

and no money –

hardly the sturdy platform

on which to make demands.

 

Yet here she stands

with her small voice,

empty pockets, and

accusing eyes,

while we continue to tell her

to trust the spider

who swears

he wouldn’t hurt a fly.
