Jerks!











The stifling carnage
all out for display-
animals, birds all-
brutally bruised,
humans sick, hurt, dying

jerked by the consequences
of living beyond their means,
greedily gnawing, grabbing
all that did not belong to them
alas! what is pitifully left are punctured egos!

Thanks Safiyyah. So good to see you here. Yes, it is a sad selfish truth we need to live with and vow to not find ourselves part of it. Glad you like the poem.
