PLAYING AGAINST EACH OTHER

This great country cannot win
  the economic super bowl.
     nor the human victory.
          until its citizens
           attain equality.

     Why should we be
  hyphenated Americans,
     special-interest split
                  by
                color,
              custom,
              religion,
      sexual orientation,
         able, disabled,
           young, old,
         ad nauseam...
               ? ? ?

Team USA may be the envied
         conglomeration of
                  taller,
                  richer,
                stronger ...

But playing against each other,
           no team can win.

                -- Delma Luben
