Will May help them?

Will  May help them
---------------------------
They are still on platforms  and
their dine is on roads
Their dresses are torn as rags but
they are creators of our life
May comes here every year but
their life is still poor with ters
Their hands are handling  gold and silver but
still they are eating in mud and paper plates
Palaces and multistories are their creation but
they have their bed on the earth under a open sky
Come my man to change their lives
at least to have an hut and plastic trays for food

Sakthee, my friend, glad to see you posting again.

This impassioned pleas is important! Poets can make a difference (I have a pair of fists and a battered face that proves it! ) But how to help? As poets we are good at describing the anguish, but how to put positive force for change in the work? May I congratulate you in the improvement in your English too, only a couple of errors that do not detract. Your friend, Jess

Sakthi, hello!

Long time no see ! I feel so powerless when it comes to these worldwide issues. What to do? Small steps. But we want to see things hapen in our life time. Do you think they will? I don't know . . . Mark
