I've seen the good and the bad
of humanity's many facets;
rough cut, brutish,
tenderness, compassion.
Waving banners of freedom,
while denying it to some.
Scornful, evil ways of profit
Honor laid waste.
Amazing dichotomy and hypocrisy
bundled together in this flesh.
Common good trampled
but hope held out.
Flickers of justice here,
an ember of logic there,
a spark of reason that ignites.
Tempest populace that groans
under burdens granted elsewhere.
Crumbling, decaying archaic views
because hope held out.
