Flat mannequins of earth before
Indifferent distortions
Politically dressed
Lying uselessly

souls expire.

unwilling,
too proud,
to beckon,
accept.
choosing giving
as their grace.
offering

unwittingly,
frustration
as biased reward.

ashamed,

at partisan merit.
resistance to reciprocity,
a delinquency.
balance
unaccepted,
ignored,
rejected,
self-blessing in the giving.
hands tied,
arms
cannot open wide.
equal engagement
nullified.
