Working People

from Abandoning Noble Goals by Kiran Leonard

/

about

for gill thompson and her brother david

lyrics

he was too proud
to ask for food; could
not speak up

on allowance;
to nurse his mother
he’d left his job

“working people, we hear you:
the lazy and the feckless
will pay for their wrongdoings”

they cut his power
the insulin in the fridge
was spoiled

his sister found him
near a pile of cvs
with an empty stomach

“working people, we hear you"
while those who are voiceless
make no sound

working people:
are we not
our brothers and sisters’
keepers?
