Current day. I live in a country that claims we are equal. Perhaps the largest of all the lies Destroying lives If even to only gain a penny Individual gains at the sacrifice of many I remember hearing stories of something called kindness once long ago Although the importance is vague And quickly fading Flash forward. What were once green meadows, now filled with trash. Newspapers providing the storyline leading up to this bleak ending. I keep my child close . I shift her mask closer to her face. I tell her of times I would run free through these same meadows She nods, but I can tell she can’t even begin to imagine what I am describing. The end.
