The Village

I am from the spiritual void,
where man knows no neighbor,
whether or not they're a girl or a boy.

I am from the depraved loins,
of a culture of convenience,
worth measured only by dollars and coins.

I am from the polluting lights,
of a cruel concrete jungle,
with simply no end in sight.

I am from the calculated mold,
from which everyone is too cast,
just to get shuffled back into the fold.

I am from the helplessness of hope,
only to sell off any aspirations,
to end up dead, in debt or just broke.

I am from the languished lands,
of betrayal and brutal bosses,
whom make terrible demands.

Although they may pillage,
and then persecute the value,
its serves to solidify the village.
