A Poem

Herbicides glide on snide remarks

As snakes slither in the dark

Venom spit from the mouths of the unfit and witless

As we witness our destruction

They blame the rot on us

But forget

The government has subsidized their lies for generations

Watching the destruction of our nation

Attempting to legislate their hypocritical theocracy into existence

Not expecting the resistance from their own

Because they’re cannibalizing the world

Eating us all out of our home

The fangs of Foucault’s boomerang have sunk deep

The forest is where we’ll sleep

Until their defeat
