If Not Dignity

the family sleeping
under the bridge
doesnt care less about
whether NASA has funding,
or whether stocks are up or down,
or whether cars are selling,
or how much profit Walmart made,
or who's going to win the Super Bowl....

shelter from the cold and rain,
something warm to eat...
and if not dignity, then safety!
