lack of empathy

the lack of empathy 

Old people are made to feel 
it is their duty to die and give 
room for a new generation 
of fewer and fewer births 
The right to abortion is, by law
every woman's right 
Henceforward survivors will
have shining bikes, playground
is of a past not revisited 
A world inhabited by monsters
