Why doesn't society care? Bad time to be poor...

Posted by one_little_victory on February 6, 2003, at 20:38:57

In the Western world it's all about money, money..and that is about it. Especially if you are poor and have mental illness, then they say "forget you..." and you just become a number
and suffer more and society suffer's more because that poor person could be the next Einstein. We are so busy investing in big money we forgot what investing in being human is all about. But that is what the ruling power and class seem to want. If you are poor you mind as well put a target on your shirt. Here are the words to a song I love that says it all I think:


It's A Bad Time To Be Poor


It is a bad time to be poor,
'Cause we don't give a sh&* no more.
If you want to go for help, don't look next door.
The line's been drawn and staked outside.

I see to trying to lay the blame
On the folks in charge who hide in shame
For growing up with an open purse,
And learning not about being alive.

Haven't I done enough to burn out?
Haven't I been there to help out?

It is a bad time to be young.
What's left to us can't be undone
Without it riding on our backs
When young and poor go hand in hand.

It is a bad time to be poor,
And feeling winter through a crack in the door.

Song by: The Rheostatics
