Pity The Nation

PITY THE NATION

Devouring its own entrails
For want of better nutrition
Glued to a sofa and a screen
All the bigger all the better
All the better to eat you up

‘Neath Doom’s Trump

‘NEATH DOOM’S TRUMP

Through deepest midnight
Hid light persists in shadow
Embroiders darkness

Poo Purée

POO PURÉE

Fundamentalism
And “white supremacy”
They have a pungent scent
Smothering any sense

Magpie

MAGPIE

Passion runs
And ruins
our lives

Infuses
And refuses
In equal measure

Dug In

DUG IN

“I do not need proof.
My beliefs are strong enough.”
A slippery slope.

FRIDAY 13th

The worse today gets
How easier to improve
It’s for tomorrow

Alter Net

Those who view breathing
A necessary evil
Deserve our support

Battling With Occluded Vision

BATTLING WITH OCCLUDED VISION

At the “super”market today
I passed some people
Trying to collect money to
“Support Our Troops”

For God’s sake

Which part of
“Though shalt not kill”
Do they not understand?

For pity’s sake

“Father, forgive them
For they know not what they do”

Shush!

SHUSH!

These emotional symphonies of yours,
with their hypnotic little melodies;
encore after encore.
The last thing they need is your applause.
