Coins Clang

Coins clang 'gainst tin cans
cupped by raggedy hands, but
this poverty clings

Gee, the clinging sounds are so strong and piercing here. My ears were aching a bit when I read it. Awesome.

Yes, I like that very much. Change (and not as in coins) does need to come from inside each of us.

and power sings
an ominous force that has no wings

Power likes to sit heavily as it sings, growing too fat to move.
