Dark

Outside Your house,
What passes for love
is greed, disguised.
Pride is more valued
than understanding.
The lives of innocents feed
the machinary of power.
Gentleness and grace
are sacrificed for
material and political gain.
Ears are closed off
to suffering and pain.
A hand stretched out
in supplication
is cut off at the wrist.
