it's not about that

we're spoiled
here.
who's hungry, who's cold?
who's down
on their luck
with medical bills,
divorce,
an accident.
who needs a job?
sign here.
who's
disenfranchised?
there's
a shelter
nearby,
a soup kitchen
down the road.
we have safety nets.
we have
rehabs centers,
community outreach,
we have
free meals,
free clothes.
but it's not about that.
when the mind
is gone,
the mentally
ill are tossed out
into the cold.
