riot act
there were riots
in brazil
riots in turkey over parkland
riots next to every day
by middle eastern youth
people are wondering
where in the world
edward snowden and his computers are
in america
the blessed dumb youth
are sleeping on street corners
for something called a cronut
making sure they’re first in line
like it’s some kind of revolution
only he’s on this bus
laughing at it all like a kgb agent
fighting with his dull girlfriend
about his new cell phone
while i think about burning
it all
and how i’ll never mix
whiskey white wine
and red together again
on a hot
summer day.
The world has lost it's mind.
