last few years
have been difficult
a number of minor eruptions
and
a couple of major ones
air has been toxic
and
steam seems
to
always fill the air
making it difficult
to breathe
though
denied
climate change
and
our own lack of stewardship
have
resulted in the loss
of
life
not as many critters
as
there used to be
and
human loss
has been
ever
increasing
it’s like we’re
continuously engaged
in
wars
war with other nations
war with the poor
war with the homeless
war with children
and
war with ourselves
a nation
of
immigrants
this place
called
america
we shall not forget the venom in your words nor how we’ve heard you see us as sheep to be herded with lies and foolish promises oh revenge is so much sweeter when the prey thinks the game is done and such pleasure will be felt as the smugness is erased away from your face as you suddenly embrace the cold steel of tomorrow that will build a cage around you soon than later

lord someone needs to repent i’m not sure who but given how things are going i’m certain you’re pissed off about something now i know you’re divine and all knowing and such but could i make a small suggestion and please don’t put me in the same category as uzzah but since none of us have touched the ark couldn’t you just strike down those who’ve got their fingerprints all over the golden pot
the brown bag prophet stopped me and asked do you think the clan’s president has a visual perceptual problem to go along with his psychological ones i hesitated but replied i’m not certain what you mean well the prophet said do you recall that movie where cops in the future are able to arrest murderers before they commit their crimes i replied i do remember that movie but what’s that got to do with the president’s array of disorders the prophet said it’s obvious that the guy in the white house thought that scenario was real but got the year wrong instead 2002 he must have seen 2020 why else would you murder someone not only in another country but also in noncompliance with international law since the action had no reason i had no reasonable reply
