[ Politics ] Cannibalistic Bliss

  
Wiping away soaped over windows
Insiders, the politicians  
making a fast buck  
from down-on-your-luck  
concerns and woes  
with their agendas -  
self serving missions;  
hear them declaring shelves empty  
in the backrooms of soup kitchens  
   
as the Poor, Weak, and Tired  
line up outside the door  
   
The hunger, thirst  
beyond insatiable  
Need to feed  
superceding self control  
Disenchanted masses  
their distended bellies never full  
   
salivating over the prospect of a wishbone  
   
eyeing the governing body  
a roasted beast upon a platter;  
bitter lining of their stomachs consumed  
from the inside out  
   
Satin curtains ripped away;  
windows shatter  
exposing great illusionists
of our day and age  
Revealed for what they are -  
pigs getting fatter  
hogging all the temple grain;  
charletains on a stage  
   
Dragged kicking and screaming  
Into the audience  
Devoured  
   
Torn apart limb from limb  
by the emaciated empowered    
   
Bitten once too often  
the hands that fed you
bite back with a deadly kiss  
   
Starved for too long  
the people attack  
In rage that can only amount to this:  
   
cannibalistic bliss
