We Were Never Civilised

WE WERE NEVER CIVILIZED
We were sold on the packaging.
Fed juicy ideals and glossy dreams, we gobbled it up.
We were told to dream big -- that hard work and perseverance would pay off.
Soaring optimism. Booming economies. Predictable weather.
Everything and everyone in their place.
We were given the tools, but not the controls.
It was all just a casing, designed to obscure the content within.
Equality is not a commodity in a civilized world. -
