Who makes the call
these days?
It rarely seems
that those of
Vision
Virtue
Valor
or
Vitality
are those that make the call
Instead
We send stand-ins
without the capacity
to make a stand
and we put them down
whenever they dare
to try
We do this by proxy
and thus removed
not you
not me
(No I's allowed)
Like a blind and paraplegic
coin-toss
with even odds
but no chance
We flip-out
as our designees
are unable to be wheeled-out
to even attempt to make a call
What difference would it make
if they called it anyway?
They couldn't see it
if they did
and we're not watching either
Unseen scenes of the unseeing
Unmoved motions of those unmoved
a world decided
day-to-day
by the calls
of a blind and paraplegic coin-toss
where everyone's welcome
to get their two-cents in,
toss-off,
and differ
to the unseen future
