Draft

Productive, 
I yearn stability
Black and white
Is gray.  Where 
Does color begin?
Red and yellow
Faded, monotone
Rainbow.  The sun's
Light is dull.  We see
Two-dimensional, and
We hide in flat lives,
Unfulfilled and clinging
To possessions, memories,
Safety in ignorance.  

What is the meaning, 
The purpose of being?

Eyes shut, we walk past
Starving children while
We ourselves over eat,
Eyes shut, we drive on
Past the crimes we see.
Justice is a money making
Operation, and we the people
Float along in the stream,
Allowing wrong to seize
The day.
