we pass them everyday
kids that beg running
after moving cars
the only game they
play ..forced to beg
by their parents beaten
maimed burnt if they
refuse little dolls of
clay .treated worse
than our citys strays
people feed dogs cats
crows but poor such as
these .. no way.. animals
are better than humankids
they say ..even a dime
they wont pay ...lost
tribe of gods children
cosmically captive
eternally ensnared
to my friend benn bell
a picture with text i
have poetically paired
