America
infant turns his
head and chokes
curdled milk from
mother's leathered
breast
all tits become
deserts sooner
or later
as old cars and
trucks pine for
Mr Ford

Feuding like Hatfields & McCoys
Will get you nowhere
The robber barons laughing in their graves
Their vile spawn
Still playing divide and conquer songs

Their vile spawn
Still playing divide and conquer songs

he only embarked on
a life of crime due to the need
to make money he became
a counterfeiter

Inhumanity
Underprivileged children suffer hunger;
Trillions of dollars spent on weapons.

Consumerism
Consumerism has conquered
Many grounds
Moves forward by
Leaps & bounds
For
Then you could
Rent a tomb
& Now
A helpless womb..

Savages
Living in jungles
Seen as uncivilized beast
Summer's prey and feast

mercy
drier than the
river with no water:
how the lack of human kindness
mirrors
places in the arid desert,
where poor, helpless creatures
bow their heads in
silence!

Karma
Saturate and scatter
The proverbial revelation
To the four corners of
Fallible earth
Profane immortals
Drink your wine
While the impoverished
Scour for garbage
Karma is coming
You cannot hide
Your grotesque iniquities
Are selling you out

Against The Tide
Austerity - the audacity
Abjection of the obsolete
Alignment to avarice
Objection - a redundant antique

Wastelands
Recycle and re-use should always be our mantra
In regard, not buy again the merchandiser's cancer
