"telethon" poems - Hello Poetry

The farmers are doing it tough Tough, it is hard to understand Why they give money to the farmers and when it comes to helping the homeless they don’t give a **** You see people give all the money to protect the farmers And they don’t want to help the homeless The homeless need more money They are sleeping rough rain hail or shine and if we don’t get rain the farmers want to be helped, mind you the food comes from there and you know what Australians think of Aussie grown and we must sort of think of that but the homeless are swept under the rug by Australians when they ask for a few simple dollars and they get nothing, and you never see a telethon on television for them But you see the formers get the nod, well I suppose farmers are having a tough time but they have a home at night to go to While the homeless have nothing Sorry, I feel strongly about helping homeless people through tough times and I am just saying my piece

they say farmers are doing it tough, but the homeless are doing it tougher, just my opinion

The farmers are doing it tough Tough, it is hard to understand Why they give money to the farmers and when it comes to helping the homeless they don’t give a **** You see people give all the money to protect the farmers And they don’t want to help the homeless The homeless need more money They are sleeping rough rain hail or shine and if we don’t get rain the farmers want to be helped, mind you the food comes from there and you know what Australians think of Aussie grown and we must sort of think of that but the homeless are swept under the rug by Australians when they ask for a few simple dollars and they get nothing, and you never see a telethon on television for them But you see the formers get the nod, well I suppose farmers are having a tough time but they have a home at night to go to While the homeless have nothing Sorry, I feel strongly about helping homeless people through tough times and I am just saying my piece

A child without water, a rich man drinks his coffee. A father unable to provide, a rich kid gets a new car. A mother lies awake, body ravaged by AIDS, while the Hollywood hills expose their costly ills. The dream of equality is nowhere to be found while the lives of the many are repressed and pushed down. Executives and suits lived gluttonous youths while a father works to death to fill his children’s mouths. There is a solution to this problem of society, one which the telethon celebs won’t give up quietly. It doesn’t involve guilt-trips on TV. It doesn’t need attention constantly. Socialites shouldn’t seek their own satisfaction if the only result is our continued inaction. What is really necessary, what really needs doing, is to get out there and get ourselves moving. It’s the work of us commoners that will fill up the bellies. It’s the donation of the middle class that will educate young ladies. The revolution of giving needs to be started or else who will care when our own lives grow stunted? The world all together relies on us all to give out our hand and make our brothers stand tall. It’s these simple acts which will strengthen the pillars of mutual respect for our society’s sisters. So don’t wait any longer for a celeb to rise up. It’s these people below them who’ll fill up the cup. No debutante or heir can fill every belly by thinking of their pride and unearned glory. Never before has it felt so right to be the common man, helping a peer in his plight.

Common Man's Plight

Splinter my tongue Inspired by serpents Cutting teeth on wicked prayers Sharpened on limestone caskets I try too hard to deceive Where and when will it all end Diamonds, roses, words These things are promised Homes, spirits, and bones These things are broken Broken I've been here all along Laying roses on your grave Roses on your grave We die too quickly This telethon is over Fireworks in the clear blue sky Fireworks in the clear blue sky Fireworks in the clear blue sky

Black And Blue And Broken Bones For Two

Splinter my tongue Inspired by serpents Cutting teeth on wicked prayers Sharpened on limestone caskets I try too hard to deceive Where and when will it all end Diamonds, roses, words These things are promised Homes, spirits, and bones These things are broken Broken I've been here all along Laying roses on your grave Roses on your grave We die too quickly This telethon is over Fireworks in the clear blue sky Fireworks in the clear blue sky Fireworks in the clear blue sky

It's not in your best friend It's not in your high school sweetheart It's not in your soulmate It's not in your it's complicated It's not in your girl next door It's not in your boo or beau It's not in your bae or your roll in the hay It's not in your one night stand that stayed too long It's not in your wet dream telethon It's not in your one that got away It's not in your rebounds It's not in your first or last chances It's not in your love at first sight It's not in your second glances It's not in your some day It's not in your angels It's not in your baby birds It's not in your ol lady or your man ***It's not in any name you call out to the lonely night skies It's in the piece of mind that everything is right***

can’t get a hold of HIM tonight, phones are busy, lines are jammed in this reverse marathon telethon where the callers are the beggars, pleading for donations from the Lord. The Lord is busy right now. To leave a message after the tone: press 1 for health press 2 for wealth press 3 for love press 4 for all the above press 5 press 6 press 7 if you want to go to heaven.
