survival

at times i get so angry
irate over nothing or
something so unimportant
but at that moment more
important than the world

when in the world
injustice occurs everyday
people without food water
children crying dieing
fighting for survival

and i'm pissed because
you didn't make room for me
as i drove our second car
onto the vast highway
consuming fossil fuels
poluting our environment

when in the world
injustice occurs everyday
people without shelter clothing
children orphaned starving
fighting for survival

yet here i sit
surrounded by luxury
all my physical needs met
my children safe and sound
fighting for survival?
