Such that
That which is
Lies, greed, hate
Selfishness
Injustice

A collectie imperative
To serve the few

The mirror
Until a disaster
Happens
Glimpses
Lesson VI (SYMPTOM OR CAUSE)
Glimpses
Lies travel fast
But they never last
Unless we choose to
Keep them alive
But crisis cleanses

Open eyes
Open minds

Lock Them Down! Keep your distance
From those Non-humans
Especially murderers
Life without parole
Death by incarceration
Dying lonesome
Solitary civil deaths
Secreted away
Behind concrete walls
Antiseptic sterile
social cleanse
The Lifer’s demise
Society kept clean
MY FATE
Covid 19
I can’t breathe.
I can’t breathe!
I can’t breathe!!!
Dying lonesome
Solitary deaths
Visibly hidden
Behind glass doors
Death by yourself
Death by yourself
On your own
No loved one near
No love being shared
None to console
No tender touch
Antiseptic sterile,
Social cleanse
Covid 19’s demise
Society kept clean
MY FATE
