Anne Hall
Hear her call
She lives in the RV at the end of it all
5 little ones
Everyone knows she just can’t feed anymore
If houses are homes
Well hers
it’s coming down
And winter it keeps coming
But summer is hell
But they kept saying
Anne you can have it all
If you just clean up a little
Smile a little more
And Anne
She keeps praying
She keeps praying that her kids just won’t wake up to this anymore.
The rain was thundering
The lightning crashing
Like a ship breaking through a shore
A tornado
Like the finger of god
Scorched the earth across town
Everyone’s eyes were blind
The hunger
Was passed off
As crazy
eyes of Anne
Until
One night
The rain thundered down
She came to the Emergency
The blood ran down
Like the rain against the windows of everyone’s white washed streets
Anne prayed don’t let me have another mouth to feed
And everyone met again
At the square
Now Anne
doesn’t have a dollar to pay for her pills or her bills
And Anne couldn’t make the trip
Anne Hall
Hear her call
The day they put Anne in the ground
At the back of the gate
the council met
Behind doors that locked
And children with filled stomachs
Tucked away in their beds
and a hard rain fell
It fell
And in the emergency
A new mother cries …
And even today
Everyone is quiet when they pass by
Where there was an RV at the end of it all…
