Short Forms

Crush

Those who have nothing feel the crush

of jack-booted sadists on the rush

to impose the ideology of the callous

spiteful austerity imposed with malice

trampled underfoot and left to rot in squalor

forgotten, ignored by those with the power.

The voiceless and helpless are to be blamed

for their inability to prosper and thrive

they should all just accept their shame

and feel lucky to be alive.

for now......
