♦ Street Roots • June 30-July 6, 2017 Poetry Pride ♦ Page 13 The Sweep by Daniel Cox by Maddy Brown-Clark Like a storm that comes, the hit parade came. The clamor rose over the Rose City. The people showed the world their pride. They invent into history, and is there today. People swept away Like garbage in the street They don’t seem to matter What they want and what they need. Cardboard bed in a garbage bin Two man tents folded and rolled away Garbage bag shelters Keeping out the rain Speaking out for television camera. For they are nomads Moving here and there. Debating For Existence by Shaggy If we met an alien race, Would we fight to protect our space. Or curse and spit in their face? Would we use our presumptions, Combined with assumptions, To put them back in their place? If they offered us provisions, Would we lack a sense of vision, Maybe make a bad decision? Would we take for granted, The gifts they’ve handed, To rescue us from our condition? The tragedy that could be So ugly to our family, Should be delivered, To be considered, By our leaders for eternity. rrr» - ri One Conversation by Jaison Kirk One conversation that I need To have is with my mother. I need to let her know that her little boy grew up and what kind of man I am today. î Need help getting health care?
