My House- Poetry

Posted on July 12, 2022August 3, 2022 by Elizabeth

My House-Poetry

I look out the window 

Of my safe and sheltered house

People walk by 

Smiling in the sun, 

How can they smile

When people out there

Are living in destitute,

Fighting for their home. 

I eat my food,

 Don’t want any more

So I Throw. It. Out.

While people all around

Rummage through trash

To find a sliver of food

Moldy, Smelly, Gross,

But, Hey it’s food.

NO! They deserve more

We walk around 

With an imaginary crown

Rimmed with gold

And topped with jewels

Because we have what WE need.

So, enjoy your house,

And your delightful food

Because just like them,

It could be taken away 

In an instant.

Gone. 

Along with that crown,

And smile you wore.

Worthless now.
