A BETTER TOMORROW

(This poem is based in the depression years)

The slam of the porch door signaled his return

Four sets of hungry eyes looked up from their play

His wife walks out from the kitchen to meet him

He stands there, broken, feeling unfit to be here

He looks and shakes his head; there will be not feed tonight

Again the work line out stripped the work available

Never had he seen so many outed from their jobs

Yet the pollies and the moguls get fatter off their profits and lies

He feels he has lost his desire; his wanting is stolen, stripped from his soul

Tonight his children will eat what meager crumbs they have left

For the third night he will not eat at all

He had set traps in the hope of something, but they had been stolen

Tomorrow he will reluctantly sell his and his wife’s wedding rings

After that there will be nothing left

She hands him a letter from the land lord

He doesn’t open it; he knows already that they are behind

Tomorrow he says to his wife, tomorrow will be better

With that he goes out to take a walk

She watches him leave, she sees the shattered man

That once walked full of a workers pride

She knows that they will pull through

Knows he will work again

For tomorrow is all ways a better day

A FIRE INSIDE
