Views in Verse on Responsibility



JUSTIFIABLE CARELESSNESS
Is there anything quite as vulnerable
As the last child crossing the road?
Society comes as a triumph to all, less one,
The dispossessed wander off alone.
Is ‘justice for all’ just a pipe-dream?
Dark chasm, maybe a lie?
Is there anything more uncaring,
Threatening, contrived
Than the wink in a politician’s eye?
Do we need to callously use
Fear as a weapon …?
A peep behind a veil
May only expose a tear.
Is there a path beyond detention…?
Is there love for the gay we hold?
Can we assume that people
Simply make it on their own?
Are we protecting due rights of the old?
Does the media care at all for justice?
Or is indifference the palette they choose?
Feigned reality always has it's own killing field
Is truth the real victim of our news?
When we choose our leaders
Do we search at all for integrity?
A key ingredient …down the road
The alpha wolf always leads from the rear
Never leaving the weak exposed.
