focus everybody!
it's not clear-
you'll have to grab another child to save
quickwhileeveryoneslooking
laugh like its okay
like you're not buring up inside
like you dont care that you have to touch the poor
like you cant feel their filth through your designed costume
even the holy stare
even the homeless smile
the educated ask you to lunch
the profesionals drug your drinks
your protection needs payment
so you charge the going rate
and they pay
and you pay
it's equilibrium
but without the balance
This was published last year, in a counselling magazine of all places
