APOLITICAL?


The space between
want and need
is at once a vast gulf
and the width of a hair,
much the same as that
separating luck and greed.
It is only in the eye’s mind
that the gap is insurmountable
and we give up hope
that those who live
in the land of want
will ever look across
the border of tears
and truly see those
who are doomed
to toil endlessly
in the land of need.
