another side of the
sun
people care
more about video games
on their cell phones
than cultivating empathy
and the cops will kill at will
as the masses press buttons of joy
hoping to not get caught in the crossfire
of this neoliberal meltdown
democracies fracture
empires end at the will of buffoons
and somewhere
something as simple
as an obscene hand gesture or a flat tire
will drive another person to murder
as i sit on the couch
burning in the embers
of another lost day
sucking at this second
tumbler of cheap vodka
staring out the window
looking for the answers to it all
hoping to catch a soft breeze
witness another side of the sun
than the one that burns
so hot and unholy
in the pale blue sky.
