Just wait

[The Straight Story]

His little girl
Sleeping there in their tent
Soon to be evicted, on public land
Coughing, sick again

We are safe he told her
No more attacks from terrorists
Our troops were fighting over there
to save her over here

Weak, pale, the only warmth from the fire he had built
Homeless and no job, but we sent money to the banks
So he might have a job soon
It will trickle down he hoped

Just wait
He told her
The doctor will see you soon
And you will have some meds

Those same people who forked over their tax money
To save her from terror
To help him find a job
Would soon, he hoped, finally help them

Just wait
Someday
They will help us
Just wait
