CHOOSING SOMEONE ELSE'S FATE

Who and where are those who decide
What morals other people should live by
Are they human or gods
Are they moral or flawed
I am unworthy to make such choices
Outside of my own life
It is impossible for me to be just
The voices of the oppressed scream loudly
That they should suffer is wrong
But we are an ancient people
Satisfied with sports, spectacle and food
Our worries over personal responsibility long gone
We simply let the masters vote
For our circumstances
And change channels
From reality to abstract
In one moment
