Tragical Impoverishment - Society's Dirt (Original Poem)

Outside of media means out of our vision.
The belly swollen, shivering from the cold ...
we are turning our head away from misery.
Eye contact is undesirable -
we keep our eyes closed.

Outside of our daily lives means non existent.
We bypass the poorest always in a rush.
Talking to those? To society's dirt?
Distance is needed -
we need our comfort zone.

Knowing the pauperisation
can hit everyone of us.

Now and then a guilty feeling crawls up
from a tiny, highly purified spot in our body,
which has not gone through the mutation
into a cold hearted unsozial human
our modern society forms.

A feeling that seldom is detectable
and too easily suppressed.

A buck alleviates our conscience.
Thrown from a distance
wordless in a rush
in the greyed out hat.

We are buying ourselves free -
we always have.

Rethink - We are Society's dirt.
