Society

Be well spoken,

then receive a token

of appreciation

from a mannequin.

The man-ling falls, 

but quickly picks itself up.

Minimize conscience,

Magnify contradictions,

between him and her,

and you and me.

A young heart cries for compassion.

Isolation.

Who lost?

Because nobody wins

in a race

that should never be.

A zit-ridden self esteem drowns

in seas of judgement.

Yet they give away:

Gold, silver and bronze.

Also for consolation:

Greed, spite and grudge.

The grown up defies; fights.

One becomes worthy--

a glorious man.

And the other,

an expendable.

Murder. Prosecution.

Death by hanging!
