Scot-Free

They don’t kill politicians anymore

though some might say they should

Those vermin breeding malcontents

all worms in rotten wood

 

To feast on dreams of hope and change

and sell what pain has bought

They rape our souls in daylight scorned

—no punishment when caught

 

(The New Room: July, 2022)
