Give a Little, Take a Lot

..."What has this world come to?"

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
