Broken
Their ears are broken
‘Tho campaigns have been waged
And information taught.
Movies have been made
And battles for acceptance fought.
Stands have been taken
Thru ground breakin’
And still their ears are not open.
Their hearts are broken
So the missing compassion
Is work like the latest fashion.
Impatient feet tappin’
To move on to the next happnin’
So they don’t have to accept
Mental illness does not mean inept.
Even as we speak I’m still hopin’.
Their eyes are broken
Or maybe they choose not to see
“There but for the grace of GOD goes me”.
Goodwill gives opportunity.
Not in my neighborhood can they be.
As long as I’m not involved
And their problems get solved,
No harm no foul words spoken.
I guess I’m another advocate token
Addressing the arrogant,
The willful ignorant.
The “I don’t give a damn”
All about me I am
Members of today’s society
That live and let others be.
I ask for help from the broken.
