21st Century

Same moon shines above all,
Still we are divided into many,
By power,color and money.
The poor are thrown, dreams are torn.
While the rich triumph,the poor mourn.
Where there is competition,
There is discrimination.
For the powerful to win,
And hard work to go in vain.
Racism is still not history,
Yet we say,
We live in 21st century.
