Two totally different worlds, Sharing nothing but longitude and latitude. There was the nation in the day, and the nation at night, Existing side by side but each fleeing the other; A daylight nation and a midnight nation. I saw a country bifurcated by more than just the presence and absence of light, But by lives cast aside and lost and uncared for; The walked away and the thrown-away on one side, and on the other, Those who pretended not to see them, because not seeing is easier. And I saw someone forced to walk both sides of the metaphor, To learn that the greatest cruelty is our casual blindness to the despair of others, That there but for the grace of whatever god you subscribe to goes any of us.
