DESTRUCTION
A child is born as another being passes. One individual
succeeds as another crashes.
Proudly one carries their many bags from their top designer
stores. Embarrassingly one hurries to leave
the good will and thrift shop doors.
A fork is raised from a taste of an appetizer, which cost
more than a normal three-course meal. A hand is
rummaging through a garbage can from a fast food
restaurant a prize meal that they were sure to steal.
The next purchase is a six-figure oceanfront home with
many windows to enjoy the view. While others are
lucky to have one room maybe even a box to shield
them from the cold poverty chill.
One child is given all they could ever desire. While another
so needful cries as their mother falls into a
self-greed of a ring of drugs and a world of fi re.
So quickly others are lending a helping hand to those
across the seas. So slowly are many to hear the cries
of our own country as they fall to their knees.
A line fills those who are waiting so patiently for tickets
to the next elite show, function, or concert. Across
the way the next line are those so desperately waiting
in the unemployment line due to a lost job so
they may take care of their family.
One punches the alarm to prepare them for the next
party they will attend. Another wakes from a short
sleep to find the strength to punch the third time
