They Will Survive
A small tent village
Deep in a forest at the edge of town
Men, women and children
Scrounging for food
Eating stuff that other people threw
away
The people were important at one time
They cured the sick and fed the hungry
They owned homes and fancy cars
They were rich, poor and middle class
They did nothing to cause this
All they did was live their lives
Scratching an existence for the
families
The world changed in an instant
One after another jobs left to Mexico
The money dried up and the stores
closed
No food, water or power
Their homes were taken by the bank
Left empty because all of the credit
was gone
People migrated in ever growing herds
Looking for a miracle place
With food, water and power
Instead they found a tent and a forest
Tents hidden away from a condemning
world
They will survive
Even with no help they will survive
They will survive
