Submitted by JayRaye on Tue, 03/15/2016 - 12:55pmOh, room for the lamb in the meadow,
And room for the bird on the tree!
But here, in stern poverty's shadow,
No room, hapless baby I for thee.

From The New York Times: "The Children of the Poor," Part I
In its March 3rd edition, the Times published an in-depth review of the newly published book by John Spargo which documents the suffering of the millions of children who are born and reared in poverty within our great American prosperity. Today we present part one of that review, entitled "Children of the Poor." We will concluded with part two in tomorrow's edition of the Hellraisers Journal.
