Toxic Streams


In a fantasyland

of their own creation

politicians spawn

Spreading their eggs of division 

and lies

among bottom feeding pawns

 

Propagating treason

corruption and graft

to freely flow downstream

Carrying our destiny

over the falls

— of shattered broken dreams

 

(The New Room: February, 2024)
