sōtēria : σωτηρία ~ Tuesday, 31 December 2019

If you are not part of the solution... 
fasten your seatbelts to this commonplace, 

you trust this cliché like quotes from Gandhi, 
obviously you care about the truth, 
ugly as it sounds, the surface reflects, 

ask me if I care, I do...and I will 
risk anonymity in the city, 
everyone views Hollywood to portray...

no one knows me as I walk down the street, 
ordinary people accept these facts, 
the problems exist while we celebrate...

participate within society, 
ask questions, act as if you know nothing, 
represent your convictions for the world, 
take the best part of yourself to display, 

on the street, I pass by homeless people
for whom I know I can offer nothing, 

take a moment to argue in favor...
how can I help someone who cannot help 
even to deal with the smallest problems, 

suck it up, the solution is not mine, 
on the contrary say the lawmakers, 
legislators defend public interest, 
until personal interest overtakes 
their stake to make the world a better place, 
in their view, for the few, and not for all, 
only justice observes the law for all, 
no problem too small to go unobserved.
