Shamefullness
why cant I overcome
resistance
to this
imperfect existence
knowing
if another appeared
I'd navigate
that clean slate
similarly inferior
to bredren and sistren
distracted
by pre-fab
re-tread
endlessly re-enacted
three card monty circuses
schemed out
with such purpose
as to stretch
equally rigged games
into decades
of crooked gain
and with
a straight face
I insist
that we are ALL equals
ALL deserve the same
aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
but NOT of equal shame
is THAT
the genome
separating
wheat from chaff?
the shameless
willing to harvest
principled vegetables
that shamble down
shamelessly shameful
concrete paths
shamefully paved
concealing Mother Earth...
.....and Her
Gifts of sustenance
selflessly offered
until
this most
recent
blip
of a spec
of a sum
shamelessness
sped
up
the DEVILution of
Century 21
doled out Her Bounty
from Chunks
to crumbs
