I think of you now and again Out half a world away On the other side of the globe Here it’s midnight and for you midday Somewhere on a Himalayan mountain How can I possibly relate to your reality Far from anything resembling a city With no infrastructure of any kind No cars no shopping centers No electricity no electronics None of the luxuries I take for granted How can I relate to your reality Your wealth is a goat some seeds and hope A little schoolhouse relatively close As your best prayer for a better future The gap between the haves and the have-nots Is nothing less than astronomically absurd And there’s no trusting the middlemen Greed keeps robbing those who have less than nothing Seems there’s fewer godfearing people left on earth Not many believing in justice and universal equity I can’t relate to corruption Concepts of karma swirl through my head Death remains the greatest equalizer AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on February 11, 2019
