I saw your house the other day
And someone told me
Do you know
That some of the richest
People live there
And I remember
Your bruises
That bloomed on
Your skin
When your dad was in town
Or the way your Mom
Came home late some nights
Wearing perfume
(To get groceries)
And how no one
Spoke of your older brother
But you always put flowers
On his grave
And I think
Some people are so poor
All they have is money
I hope you have more than that
