Too Many Broken People

What breaks a person?
Is it the choking collar of slander
or the weight of the world they bear?
Is it anger or hunger or both? I wonder.
Broken people are a crime seen;
Puzzling-the remnant of a crime scene
A story written and hidden
A truth parading false and feeding
Until happiness becomes sad to the willing.
Aren’t we all broke and unwilling?
