What You Got

By
Steven “Screechawk k’Shaya” Marshall

”The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not want.”
Is what they all say
But everyday, they just want.
They moan and complain
For what they don’t got
But the things they are blessed with
They forget and care not
While the guy on the streets
Wearing clothes, tattered and tear
Doesn’t want that new blender
But wants just one to care
So before you buy the million dollar chair
With the automatic rocking,
Think of the ones who live in boxes
Who truly have to live with nothing.
