Poem of the Day 01.24.23

amuck

we are proud of everything now
and ashamed of nothing

i watched the idiots prance around
on tv and on the internet

their stupidity on display
their ignorance run amuck

and they look happy and secure

while i don’t have the confidence
to get out of bed most days

but that’s just the way it is

the weak will not inherit the earth
before the fools burn it all to the ground

court jester citizens
and keystone cops

clashing in the broiling streets

we are proud of everything
and ashamed of nothing now

as the cockroaches and rats
wait patiently in the wings

for the great reckoning

for their time
to rise and shine.
