Why is it that the egos of our time, have yet to be overwhelmed by the silent tears of those so less fortunate?

What flood of desperation is required, to wash away the grime, to reveal the purpose of so much self-serving justification?

What exactly is the failing of those who are left wanting?

Are their demands really too much?

or is it that their dreams are too small?

Too insignificant to be noticed, lost in the shadows of those who so jealously hord.

How their dreams have been abandoned by the want of towering egos.

Shame on those who are compelled to maintain this disparity,

Shame on those who deal the hand,  so they, they alone,  may walk tall amongst the crowd.
