A Conference

I attended a professional conference
and my impressions of it are raw
most presenters embraced their importance
but their topics were my draw.
One only read from his PowerPoint
the keynote was too early - too much
the only talk that stood out and was good
were two guys linking poverty - a touch -
of reality into my cocooned day.
A sad comment on issues of health
reforms and Congress inability to grasp
that poverty in-utero condemns cells
to limitations in body and soul forever
depriving them of growth and nurture -
so anyone with an understanding hearth
would get that paucity is brain torture.
