Gold & Hunger



Born to survive, to sell, to conquer
sacrificing mind and shrine
and still, there will be gold and hunger
life on bones is no longer a crime

    Who is that born to survive and so on? The poem has lines fit for much commentary. And one could argue about the total meaning of all of this, but that there is much poetry and deep thought in this one cannot deny.
    Good lines!
