the town-crier said they said they will give the homeless shelter<\/p>\n
they said the homeless should come around and register<\/p>\n
they said each homeless will need a number<\/p>\n
they said to get the number a homeless must bring his mother<\/p>\n
they said whoever does not have a mother should provide his finger<\/p>\n
they said otherwise the shelter will go to another<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
they warned that the shelter is for a limited number<\/p>\n
hmm, the homeless scamper to get the number.<\/p>\n
the town-crier said they said the machine reader<\/p>\n
will not return from the manufacturer<\/p>\n
so the homeless wait in their hopelessness<\/p>\n
a potbelly prince promises to ease their homelessness<\/p>\n
\u201cgive me your votes. I will build you a shelter. i will fulfill my pledges unlike the other\u201d.<\/p>\n
the next time the prince amble to the constituency in a black armour car<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
his private window prevents the homeless from seeing through the car<\/p>\n
he drives off without a care for the score of homeless<\/p>\n
now in the throes of waiting, they are still homeless<\/p>\n
the homeless heaves a sigh and welcome another representative, a thief<\/p>\n
the homeless allow him into their hearts, handing him the key to the treasury<\/p>\n
he gives the homeless loans with usury<\/p>\n
yet, he refuses to provide shelter. “I will look into the shelter matter\u201d.<\/p>\n
he tells the homeless as he drives away<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
another bighead comes and he removes the shantytown<\/p>\n
in exchange, luxury nests wait for the mighty when they come to town<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the hopeless homeless in my home are still waiting for their own<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" the town-crier said they said they will give the homeless shelter they said the homeless should come around and register they said each homeless will need a number they said to get the number a homeless must bring his mother they said whoever does not…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1355,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,8,7,13,12,2114,1136,441,5,1135,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-half-marathon-poem","category-introductions","category-marathon-poem","category-miscellaneous","category-musings","category-official-marathon-announcement","category-official-marathon-prompts","category-poetry-prompt-responses","category-poetry-prompts","category-testimonials","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63998"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79248,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63998\/revisions\/79248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
