the box
we live as we dream, alone
we dream about what we are shown
we see what we’re taught to expect
expect what we think we should get
& while some get what they think they deserve
that’s often less Fate & more nerve
a few get so much more than they need
they think it means they get to lead
give everyone reasons to follow
mere excuses, inspected, and hollow
designed with more take and less give
to keep us apart while we live
