Vultures

The media
Are stirring the pot
Of peoples frustrations
Like vultures
Readying themselves
To tear of the flesh
Of the vulnerable
In an already
Dysfunctional
Damaged
World
They play the free speech card
Like jokers
In the pack
Like wolves
Baiting us
Yet we have already
Become
The worm
On the hook
Wriggling hopelessly
And here's the rub
We are also the fish
Biting
Part of the medias
Food chain of despair
As we watch on
Living
In our goldfish bowl
Of lock down
Awaiting our small
Crumbs of hope
