kings in the castle and peasants on the street
and everything else in between
they kept saying they didn’t belong here
they just couldn’t tell you why
inmates inside jails are processed like
mental patients in denial
courts are filled with judges tossing out
jesters for recycling old jokes
I remember you telling me how you loved
reading how we’ll die alone
young people everywhere are starving for no
particular reason
a greater cause picks up steam ever slowly
meanwhile we carry on
may two thousand seventeen
