The bullshit world we live in even though it’s the twenty-first century and we’re still fucking killing each other

I’ve seen scenes of scorched war

where even Ravens refuse to perch and caw.

starving because they’ve scavenged all

meat from the decayed doves; and the maggot

larvae fall from the dead into the sewer

streets to float until they turn to flies and feast

and vomit on a goat leg hanging in the butcher’s shack

spoiling the freshest meat of the land.
