In the spirit of this article, I’d like to share an edgy poem of mine:

—

“Time we've got, but patience not

That’s why so many wars are fought

The men who are buried within the soil

Don't know they died for dollars and oil

•

The oligarchs and plutocrats

Are dirty, raping, evil rats

They trade war tools with enthusiasm

Then clink their glasses 'cross the chasm

•

Their politics and dirty tricks

Disguise how they intermix

For in truth, behind the screen

Lurks a truth they don't want seen

•

They're all the same, they all seek power

The whole game is wickedly sour

•

So whether east and west or red and blue

The side shouldn't matter to you

They're all the same, it's all deceit

And to them, you're just a piece of meat”
