Income Comparison

The value of

Goods

Or actions

Compared to the weight

Of words

What is the measure

That holds all equal

So that we can see

What happens

To us

When we are sold

For nothing

On the selling block

Kindly Political

When was the last

Cordial

Political

Movement

Of virtue over

Destruction

Is that posible

In today’s world

With hard words the norm

What can we do

To be kind to

Each

Other

Back to Back

Facing the opposite direction

We do not see each other

Our struggles are the

Same

Our voices ring together

But blindly we walk away

As to not help each other

For we can’t help what we can’t see

If only

We could turn around

And see

Other standing right

Next to us

Tonight

If tonight is all you have

What would you want

To know

To give

To try

Every moment can be slow

Or could fly

So take the moment

To prepare the answer

For in the life we are living

Nothing is ever a given

Obnoxious

I was a little wild

In my youth

The memories have

I am glad

I made it through

To see the days

Of a finer wisdom

Upon my life

So I am grateful

To be here

And everyday too

Downtown

The lights of the city

Brimmed with

Possibility

To try the new faces

Of creation

To be unique and different

Everyday

That goes by

This is the light of the city

In my eye
