How Societies Die - Exploring Brokenness: Poetry on Pain, Anger, and Human Flaws

How Societies Die

I guess some people
Think it’s okay
To shame a child for
Not having money to
Pay for food,
A particularly
Reprehensible
Form of cruelty that
Never leads to
Anything but
Suffering.
This is how
Societies die.
