Transient Beings

Transient beings, victims
Of circumstance beyond
Their means. Framed
Within societal norms
We stand in line.
Right, left, forward facing
Witnesses to injustice.
Lists of transgression, defining
Bullets for the obituary.

The relation between
Reality &fiction are strained.
It’s inexplicable, the ignorance that
Passes for news.
Rivals, enemies; gangs of misfits,
Extended families &promises.
Riddled with in opportunity,
Learning to stand against sovereignty.
