a poem by Gary Beck
Grudge |
The world is a spectacle of having,
yet to those who have not,
deprived of participation
in the arbitrary allotment
of the fruits of the earth,
there is no consolation
in oft repeated promises
that never come true.
Unlike rebellions in the past
over issues of faith or freedom,
the current storms of violence,
fueled by greed, drugs, hatreds,
are further aggravated
by the daily display
of desirable goods,
only obtainable
by illicit acts.
