Oh the humanity!
We scream when the torrents rage against our already-wounded flesh
When the hatred weather stirs animosity in the hearts of so many
When water encloses from every direction and we're left with only a pocket of air.
"But they have air," they say from their thrones of power
"They have freedom," they say as we are confined to one corner of one box labeled "OTHER."
