Generation Gruel

blessed few

 walk a gilded path
 of fortune,
 fame
free from regret

common people
plod
about the muck
slipping
sliding
in the slime
along inner city
streets
seeking
a soup
kitchen
of life

one wonders

where is the gratitude
for the sustenance
however 
scant
and
bland


Listen
to them

 grumble and quetch
as they hit
rock bottom

 the spoon
 scrapes and scratches
an empty bowl
