Sense Sonnet - Acher

 We're Under Pressure

We the people be in the streets,

Homeless, helpless, hopeless be we

The castaways from life's defeats.

All around the nation we be.

U.S. - richest nation on Earth

Often talks about our plight,

But measures us by what it's worth

As an election issue fight.

We are the same flesh and blood of

The rich and powerful by fate.

We know that we are tough to love,

And know we are easy to hate.

It will take a united task,

Some understanding's all we ask.
