givers and takers
the mismatched weight-bearers
on this capsized fulcrum of a seesaw
called life
takers survive each fall
intact
the thin-skinned
collect their pieces
to save face
again
and again
knowing
they will never get this game
for its lopsided lever
has been cast over them
at the onset of time
by those
who entitled
their selves
the immortal seats
the winners…
do take it all
Period.
