Human Rights
Are human rights
a yardsale..
Bargained for
a buck or two
Exposed to the
elements of
chance
Awaiting vultures
to pick through
Will rain dampen
the hopes
Of our most
sacred possession
The right to choose
as we will
Without fear of
retaliation~

human rights are those we bestow upon ourselves and others - and we are, after all, only human. So, unfortunately, sacred possessions often do go to the highest bidder. Still, when the poet can write such, my hopes are not dampened by the rain!
