Equally Apportioned

What would it take

To have complete equality

Of idea and thought

Is it something

That mankind can achieve

I hope with resitance

I believe with hesitation

But I see what happens around me

And I fall back to frustrated

Resignation

Vacancy and Ashes

The headlines read

From the backseat

A unsettling message

Sent through the ranks

Of the entire

Nation

Awaiting the turning

Of heads

In a different direction

For tonight is all we have

If we lose that

We have nothing

But vacancy

And ashes

On the backseat
