Change
A curious word
For a people doomed to mistakes
That have more than once occurred

We peddle in power
Masquerading as purpose
A castle built upon the sand
Will inevitably
Succumb to the very land on which it stands

Equality
Just another slogan
Your best efforts
Just amount
To another drop in the ocean

A species
Who fancies itself free
Forever cursed
To miss the forest for the trees
Our own shortcomings
Transplanted as another’s needs

Life’s eternal enigma
Our greatest triumphs
Have only served
To **** us quicker
