Railroad | Poem

Life split by two sides of a track

Society divided in its opportunity

Rich to the west, poor to the east

The lottery of life.

.

Born on the wrong side of the track,

Your life predetermined

To be one of struggles, poverty, misinformation.

What hope lies in social misbalance…

.

The west wants one thing,

To keep the east in its place.

Can we break the mould?

Or be stuck in purgatory?
