Give a Little, Take a Lot

By Scott Thomas Outlar

Rain falls

Crickets chirp

Rabbit sits
stoically in the grass

Plane flies
overhead

Who the fuck am I?
What has this world come to?

I just try to deal with my own sins
and not hate other people for theirs

A baby is born
while someone gets shot

Give a little
Take a lot
