everybody wants their moment;
screaming no! no! no! all the way.

i only want what is mine,
they holler; it is just that
"theirs" is like the river
that never stops flowing;

the river stops for some. some not.
as the haves take and keep more,
leaving the others as have-nots.
bewildered, thirsty & wanting.
that clanging noise down the river
is the bones of a shanty-towh.
