Eradicate Poverty

As I know that ye hold a mandate on human rights and equality, I think it’s time we join and try to eradicate poverty. These fall under housing, education, employment and health – I think we should start by spreading the wealth. To people in need – the poor and the homeless. Let’s start by spreading hope to the hopeless. The lack of support, it offends me. When you’re looking for votes, it’s the only time ye preach equality! Empty promises – I’m actually sick of it all.

It’s up to ye – just make the call. The call to build houses. I mean ye are the government – why cant ye stop this destruction? Just make the call to start construction. Construction of fairness, equality and a united island. I mean ye are in charge of Ireland! Just follow through on what you said, instead of waking up and another is dead. Dead from the cold – cardboard box that’s all that keeps me warm. If ye said yes there would be no harm. That’s why theres groups like ATD, cuz we stand against poverty! That’s why we stand for equality. It’s time to stop all this negativity, that the government is spreading. I mean look at where we are heading! When people look at homelessness as the normality, that’s when I look on ye in pity. When you walk down Dublin and see people asleep on the ground, I dunno how ye sleep so well and sound. Please listen to us – there is people dying. Families nearly drowning from the tears their crying. They’re crying to ye to help them out. Some are afraid to scream and shout. I hope this poem reaches someones heart before this country just falls apart.
