How can you & I share the same space & time?
Are we only foolish, immature, or completely blind?
On a planet where things should be more than "I" alone,
It's hard to understand the structures & functions imposed.
I saw a little kid, in passing, maybe sometime last Tuesday...
And I could feel the hunger & hope of his heart starve away.
In eyes that screamed with pain & rage & need,
He saluted the flag, said a prayer, & died. Inequality.
