Societies Dirty Trash

Pass me by everyday
Just turn and look the other way
Know that I am here to stay
Societies dirty trash

Spit on me as you pass
Watch me bleed on broken glass
Wealth is something I cannot amass
Societies dirty trash

Listen not to my voice
Pretend I had another choice
Notice not my skin is moist
Societies dirty trash

Even the President, he did sin
Let’s not forget the Congressmen
We all have it deep within
Societies dirty trash

Pass me by like you don’t see
I am who you might be
If circumstances were viewed differently
You’d be to me
Societies dirty trash.

i do so despise judgemental people...thanks for telling them off in your poem!

------------------
i never call a poem "nice" or such,
for that would not be saying much

Score!! I like this departure from tragic love, it moves me and soothes me, may I assume you meant this to be?

Yes Dream, even I can find it in me to let go of the writing I know so well once in awhile! (of course in the end, something dies here too...hopefully this time it is a bit of the prejudice too many people hold for circumstances they know nothing of)To both you and Elvira...Thank you.

For sometimes when the Darkness falls, we must surrender, take what is ours, and give what we can, and always remember love is somewhere waiting...
