so who created this “wealth”?
this idea of “wealth”?
this ability to have
“wealth”?
this is a reality that must be agreed
to within our society
to have any meaning
a society's laws and government
ideally exist
to protect the weak,
provide for the general health and
welfare,
adjudicate disputes and keep the
peace
We can be anywhere,
while virtually
everywhere,
saving all that fuel and time,
energy,
from here to there.
Human rights overruled
by our more important
imaginary brothers.
How was it we agreed to
create
this idea of reality?
Childhood is no splendid
fantasy.
Children hurt, are hurt, are pulled
along
as possessions with their grown-up
owners.
Yet, we survive,
become our lives.
How open wounds to healing
light,
hope of love in shared
homecoming
opens us to ever more
brutality?
These ought not be normal
times,
best expectation.
Talk to me. Please!
Tell me I can expect
better.
Wounded children can hope to be
healed.
