PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There is little that is common in decency.
Shreds are found shared among village or city
but only when plights can be devalued and seen
as an alternate scheme by which we'd receive
bounty. And thus, a true altruistic being
cannot exist simultaneous with needs
unmet, unaddressed, unfulfilled or well-buried
beneath a "real" or projected empathy.
