Forced Poem by Dorsey Baker

Forced



Sometimes a poor man
Being very poor
Is forced!
To break the law
No criminal intent!

Just trying to
Keep food on the table
A roof
Over his family's head
No money in his pocket
Bank account empty!
He might just
Go out and Rob a bank
Or steal a steak!
His heart
Is in the right place
But his mind
Is some place else!
Because
It's so hard to have
A clear head
When ain't no money coming in!
