I’ve watched this city burn twice
in my lifetime
and the most notable thing
was the arrival of the
politicans in the
aftermath
proclaiming the wrongs of
the system
and demanding new
policies towards and for the
poor.
nothing was corrected last time.
nothing will be corrected this time.
The poor will remain poor.
The unemployed will remain so.
The homeless will remain homeless
and the politicans, fat upon the land, will live
very well.
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994)
