In a world where a cute baby that eats bacon with a puppy is sure to be among the most popular YouTube videos, poetry about what is faith, depression, anxiety, heartache, broken hearts and God is at a decided disadvantage. It cannot compete with talking dogs as pets. It can't out-keyword bacon as food. It won't tease you provocatively. Artists like Justin Beiber won't be found here.
Neither will superstars like Jeremy Lin.

Broken Souls on YouTube
Unlike other popular YouTube channels and videos, the content presented is not designed to be funny nor the funniest you will ever view. So you won't find about cute dogs, food, pets or a puppy, bacon or an adorable baby. It's not about a snake, a river or an avalanche. It's also not about Justin Bieber or the latest Twitter trending topics.
What you will find on the WriteMyPrayer channel are readings from Broken Souls, a collection of spiritual poetry. The poetic readings recorded as YouTube videos include "Middle Class On The Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" about the 99 percent who need jobs, have mortgages underwater, and are bled dry by skyrocketing gas, food and drug prices, to name a few. "Middle Class" is also about the one percent who control the media, the big banks, big food, big oil and big drug companies.
"Middle Class" mirrors how out of touch the one percent are with the suffering of the poor( or the middle class). It is a
narrative that opens with the fall of the middle and ends with big banks who get away with the greatest robbery of our time: the robbery of the middle class. Other poetry in the "Broken Souls" collection centers on a different type of robbery of the middle class. In this second kind of robbery sin robs the faith of the middle.
"It robbed my faith, yet left in its place, a bottomless pit," reads the poem, "Grand Theft."
Middle Class On The Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
(An Excerpt)
Just like Bernie
Made off
They get your trust
Then take your house
Big Bank robbers
Too big to fail
US Treasury
Wishes them well
Big Drug Company
Made me choose
Die right now
Or eat Big Food
Corporate News
Myself did use
To pimp its way
Now I’m its prey
Big Fat Oil
Bled me dry
Said lowest supply
Told big fat lie
Filthy Rich Greed
Efficient and fast
The Corporate creed
Against Middle Class
