I eat like a bird

Post by saw »

the final days of color
loomed like a blackened wave
of frosted air, the garden
had nothing to say about it

the birds still came for breakfast
but didn't hang around to socialize
preferring the quick exit
to sunny electric cables

where they lined up like perps for the cops
and I claimed to be an eye witness
like a cub reporter with pen and notebook
that refuses to sit indoors and likes to scribble

it's the day after the election
the country is split right down the middle
hate vs. love in it's simplest form, but this
newly elected president whoever he may be

won't stop me from hiking
and he won't prevent me from painting and writing
and he won't be able to convert me to his brand
'cause I'm just like a bird

I eat
I leave
I shit
I eat again
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

the delusional loser
now sends his army of attorneys
into the battle for our soul
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

judges laugh
the big mouth bully is oddly silent
he doesn't care about our security
or dignity and tradition
he only cares about his giant head
nothing else enters that wasteland
his delusional world on a loop
the courts loom for his civilian stature
i walk in the woods
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

riding with biden
in the ditch with Mitch
in the dumps mit trumps
if i only had a brain
I would probably lose sleep from worry
so I hike and type and read oh my!

The Great Sickness is still with us. I always thought that folks in "the heartland" are too close to nature to fall for this. But honestly, I don't know if any "good" choices still exist.
