Look and see
What's a chain to the beggar
is the sugar tit to the rich
There is no more envelope to push
Charles Bukowski left a long time ago
The post office is empty
so are the bellies of the poor
There's filth and feces in the streets
There's filth and feces in the brains
Nations built on broken backs
Spartacus had it right
break out of the circus
Maybe we can not win this game
but at least
if only in our minds
we can fight this machine
I am not sure
but maybe
there is
glory
in the end

Still ways to go into the heart of darkness, but there are islands of light for those who need a breather in-between.

Angel,
That was fantastic!
I love that writing, and I love the way you contemplate this crummy world.
Thank you!
Matthew.

There is always good around. Try not to get caught up in the bad, it's too easy

The natural end of Capitalism ... as Karl Marx predicted.

A hard hitting poem with not so nice scenes depicted aptly. Powerful poem critical of humanity deservedly. Kudos.
