Moral Relativism: A Poem

They say I should be
grateful
because things could always be
worse.

I could be
a child in Palestine, mutilated and starving,
an indentured, sexually abused servant, working unsustainable wages, on a cynical supply chain, for a superfluous consumer product,
or infected and bleeding out, after miscarrying a non-viable fetus, in a third world shithole, called Texas.

I'm immensely grateful for my lot in life.

But I wonder
if
I should be grateful for
the world
we've created.
