The world spins on its axis, so askew.
Staring at society with head at full tilt
So as to see it on level ground.
No matter the angle of sight,
It all remains backward.
I can taste the bitter segregation
Of the "haves" and the "have-nots."
I am amazed at the blindness,
The blatant disregard of the masses.
I weep in my corner,
While these four walls spread,
Further dividing the world.
A world spinning backward.
