Greed Kills

(greed kills)

When Reagan decided to feed
the poor, what he meant was, 
let’s feed the poor to the rich. 

(greed kills)

His Piss-on-the-Poor theory, 
otherwise known as Tinkle-Down
economics, 
is just a fancy name for greed. 

(greed kills)

When those who have way
to much, cry out
keening, wailing, desperate
for more; people
die.

Poem: A Scorcher

A Scorcher I sweat Ahelgany and Monongahela scorch down my face. My lungs toil as woefully inadequate bellows enslaved in the blacksmith's forge. Air is exchanged Breathing but a memory, as the Sun continues its aggressive  interrogation. My body a blunt lethargic chisel carves out with somber devotion hot iridescent granite blocks of heat with each step I take. Pressed to my brow water and rocks fill the goblet. Precious droplets of well chilled soothing elixir resuscitate my soul. Water. More precious than Sovereigns. More intoxicating than Absynthe. Sigh.
