so many, of us, equally
Uninsured, needing services
falling between the cracks
help beyond their reach
living on the streets,
prisoners, in fear
of what may come
More, far more,
meager coverage
most of us
knowing one accident, illness
could lead to the poorhouse
Something wrong
in this land of plenty
prayers lifted up
that all would be covered
that none would fear the future
for want of insurance
that all would know peace
the love of their neighbor
in this Lenten season
following the Christ
