SAME-OLD, SAME-OLD

The reality has shifted
Yet it remains the same,
The landscape’s developed
Yet seemingly in vain
As the country struggles to breath
Beneath the yoke of greed
And callous avarice.

Laws that prohibit
Even a slight gesture
Walls keeping you safe
Oblivious, unable to register
Setting the stage
For another disaster.

Personal, political
The bitch gives birth
Little and large
We are all a part of tomorrow
Sorrows that stunt growth
A broken oath, a pact shattered
In denial.
