Dangerous Times

The totality of humanity
is driven by the whims
of arrogant lopsided men
who play strip poker
in the lion’s hungry den.

Devil dealing cards,
power, corruption, greed
give them the hand
they so dearly need
that they may continue

to ravage precious land
to fuel the fiery lust
to cop the angel dust
to rob the old and poor
to close the holy door
to feed the lion’s hunger.

Selfies

Our way of life
is being hijacked.

We’re given a diet
of lies and deceit.

Our dignity has
been trampled on.
