Robbery & Violence

How did we get here?

Violence in
broken promises
damned lies & statistics, business as usual
plump politicians
impotent
personal power purely
in bed w/ corporations
complete circle of life’s constant
accumulation
cycles of banal bribery
& corruption
clears all coffers
clean
bill of health, their profits
pilfer, pillage
the populous is suffering
but stealing
from each other’s so-so
surviving, strange attractors
to poverty
of spirit subject to
therein lies daylight
robbery
in goodness and mercy, mercy Me
vs We consciousness
is failing
us miserably.
