The Current State of the Union
poverty perpetuates;
wealth follows suit.
those who are not gilded
are left destitute
two polar ends of spectrum,
two polar powers of charge.
though colorless, you’d expect them
to not stand so far apart, at large
distances between each other
never changing through the years.
through ground breaking discovery
through laughter, and through fears
you play the hand your dealt with
and you deal with the deck you’ve got.
the winners hold the loaded dice
the losers become accustomed to simply not
getting all that is wanted in all that will proceed;
there’s comfort in familiarity
in patterns that repeat.
and the winners will keep on winning
day in and day out
and will work leisurely to get what’s desired:
what they’ve never done without.
and this is why poverty perpetuates
and wealth follows suit.
this is where dreams become lost in the fabric, become forgotten and dilute.
