Replying to a comment on:
Win, Win, Lose, Lose (Free verse) by Dovina A bioengineered nation,
top-heavy with old,
longevity treatments sold,
replenishes its labor force with
cheap service, jobs for young poor.
Win-win
Immigrants come and remain
stubbornly foreign,
unspeakably Spanish,
unchangeably Muslim,
un-American.
Win-lose
Neglecting to die,
the old work on,
suppressing the young,
insulting the immigrants,
demanding cheap service,
unnaturally alive.
Lose-lose
