[2021] A Murdering of Hornets
Drowned in tidal waves of concrete
---whole families who lived
along the street, scraping by
to pay rent, barely
making ends meet
in areas designated
aggressive dissident
Apartment complexes
up and down the block
obliterated with rockets
Despair filled lungs
saturated with dust and ash
in cinderblock pockets
emptied of air
The Politicians
on both sides of the fence
don't even care
Busy as bees, they're
targeting which buildings
to completely level next
Blown out of context
any religious text
The Fanatics
on both sides of the fence
don't even care
Indiscriminately
stinging the innocent;
spraying cans of RAID
upon insignificant insects
The Militants
on both sides ot the fence
don't even care
Heartless. Soulless. Evil.
Doesn't. Care.
