2018

 

at this moment,
someone is dying.

at this moment,
love is ending.

at this moment,
an old man is
being bitten by
rats and fleas.

at this moment,
our government
is trying to kill us.

at this moment,
our dreams smell
of wet dogs.

at this moment,
a cobra of lies is
swallowing the
mouse of truth

at this moment,
the apple is laughing
at the worm.

at this moment,
balloon animal
thoughts rule
social media

at this moment,
wars slumber
on,
hell is giving
out loyalty
cards,
the new millennium
has vomited
all over
hope,
bullets are falling like
rain on the writhing
bodies of
children,
and the world has it's
head in the oven
with the gas
turned on
full.

at this moment,
I am writing this
poem
trying to make
sense of it
all.
