No Equality Here

how do we decide
who's to live
who's to die
in our affluent world,
not caring
about the rest,
as we inflict
economic wounds
on competitors?
how shallow is our
living grave
that we must
denounce those who
are different
while grazing on the
grasses of their lands,
like we are all
Native Americans?
how impotent is our
actions when we
must hide behind
the protection of
other words that
were never created
for this intent?
