untitled2 (a poem)
by Brian Anderson, insurgent49


just once I want to be happy
for Human’s prosperity
that we as a species
have come so far that we
can build such glories
understand such minute-nesses
sail through invisible realities

but I can’t

because I see the poor buried away
because I hear hunger growling and screeching
because for every person who succeeds does so
because ten more try, fail, and don’t get a second chance

but if all that counts is the bottom line
where human lives don’t matter
and war continues to be more profitable than peace
and stock costs mean more than a person’s child

then give us all a gold star
a bathroom pass
and a ribbon for good
    participation
with a thank you letter
that we can
give our
parents
