Quo Vadis?

Feed the hungry.
Kill the rich.
Ocean’s dying.
Life’s a bitch.
Nothing matters.
Plague abounds.
We don’t matter.
Make the rounds.
Police are angry.
Looters, too.
Sometimes they don’t
know who’s who.
Polar bears now
need life vests.
We have failed
so many tests.
To escape
our own trap,
leave the tent now.
Cut the flap.
Many things
will have to change.
Our streets are
a shooting range.
If we have to
pay for peace,
scrap the weapons.
Change the lease.
It’s time we learn
to treat our land
better than
a one-night-stand.
Stand together.
That we must.
We’re the gods
we must trust.
