Cracking up

this world

is cracking up

evil forces

malignant growth

a hideous carbuncle

the fissures deepen

as the furrowed brows

of decent souls

gaze upon the rotting flesh

and contorted expressions

of men women and kids

offered up

sacrificed

to satisfy the greed

of men in smart suits

and suave sophisticated smiles

devoid of conscience

or empathy

power more valued than the people

they rule

with an iron fist

Holy cats, paulo is back and in rare form as usual...love that word carbuncle, you smacked this one over the head and took no prisoners!

'devoid of conscience or empathy'...that's a mouthful right there....

yeah- but I did express it in 2 lines!!
thanks, Frieda
