THE COLD WITHIN

Six humans trapped by happenstance In black and bitter cold . Each one possessed a stick of wood , Or so the story ’ s told .
Their dying fire in need of logs , The first woman held hers back For on the faces around the fire , She noticed one was black .
The next man looking cross the way Saw one not of his church , And couldn ’ t bring himself to give The fire his stick of birch .
The third man sat in tattered clothes ; He gave his coat a hitch . Why should his log be put to use To warm the idle rich ?
The rich man just sat back and thought Of the wealth he had in store . And how to keep what he had earned From the lazy poor .
The black man ’ s face bespoke revenge As the fire passed from his sight , For all he saw in his stick of wood Was a chance to spite the white .
And the last man of this forlorn group Did naught except for gain . Giving only to those who gave Was how he played the game .
The logs held tight in death ’ s still hands Was proof of human sin . They didn ’ t die from the cold without , They died from the cold within .
