ONLY A FEW

teachers and preachers
know the children are trapped,
each one sentenced to family prison
in a house of selfish complaint
to a school of unlikely choices
at a college of social dilemma
for a job in financial stress
all stuck in traffic
on their way to escape
from a World so afflicted
wondering why.
Yet, tyranny of appetites
is not a welcome answer
to the billions addicted.
