Hunger games (in colour)

succulent pig, tomatoes
green peas, potatoes
dessert would be an apple Pie
Blatant banana republic Lie
Eat Pray Die
or why bother eating
pray defecating
just die, die
a rich animal’s cry
absolute demand
that what we want
give us give us
death destruction
catacomb construction
blood sucking gory
vampires we are
rulers by far
Built your fall
will kill you all
and drill you all
every night is a feast
Halloween beasts
world needs churning
dry flesh burning
great learning
for your kids
under our skids
we need someone
to lie and die
Sacrifice is necessary
your skin an accessory
to our fashion
no animal cruelty
just human duality

Return of the smile

Life balance needs restoration
Empathy, positivity welcome
Negativity needs to go away
Sadness, it is not your day
Happiness, pride, joy and gay
Day by day, smile returns in force

Paradox

You say:
They don’t really
care about us
(or was it MJ)
Humanity keeps
its poor in cages,
Favelas, in slums
No water to drink
No fire to burn
even our sorrow
No hope for tomorrow
Rich becomes richer
Poverty more intense
Life worse than your dogs
without essence

They say:
We are trying to help
To get you out
of living hell
To make you understand
To make you human
You have to contribute
You have to work hard
No amount of our help
Will make you smart
However we help
It will fall apart
So drop your begging bowl
Change your living ways
Come and help us
To make this earth
a better place
The fire will come
The water will run
Life less hurting
Some shining sun

I look at this paradox
These contrasting views
My nomadic life
offer nothing of use
Unable to join
any of the herds
All I can write
these scribblings,
These words!!
