Minimal Wage or The Root Of All Evil
Birds of a Different Feather

Breathe

Take a deep breath.
Let it out.
In that time,
A child in this world
Died from hunger.

Breathe deep.
Exhale slowly.
In that time,
Americans threw out
Five tons of food.

Like a colossal Grand Canyon,
The gap between
Rich and poor
Takes my breath away.
