Dystopia

there’s no such thing as a victim
in a deck of playing cards
but aces listening to a hymn
living like cards would in a house
we all don’t have to pray like a Muslim
or a Christian, Buddhist or anything at all
that repels the flow and creates in me grim
every body can be in these yards
there’s enough water for everyone to swim
there’s no such thing as a victim
