it's not that simple

i want people to work.
to get their hands
dirty, to join
the grind.
i don't
want them on the corner
begging.
i want
the lines to be shorter
in the soup
kitchens.
the shelters empty,
the tents to be gone.
take a job,
any job.
i whisper.
naively, simplistic
as always
with what's wrong.
