day ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED and FORTY

The Crime of the Century

We hurtle towards disaster
in the name of MAGA

hell­bent on destruction
a societal state of advanced
decomposition, pulling ourselves
apart at the seams, running
on a hamster wheel, blind
to the déjà vu of 1932:

The top propping
up that aristocratic bile
giving in to the base impulses
of the favored few.

The bottom unsure
which way is up, trusting

Forward
Upward
are not the same

Killing each other
over scraps

they give you scraps!

You’re praising the hand
that slaps you.

--Joshua Medsker
