the world continues
to de-evolve at a rate
i can barely keep up with.
indifferent government,
indifferent police force,
indifferent populace;
this time
the sky is actually
falling.
every day i add another
brick to my wall,
building my bunker,
sign on my front door
states:
trespassers will be shot.
the Lord’s prayer suggests
we forgive those
that trespass against us
and i laugh,
realizing,
i have de-evolved as well.
my mother always
told me to take the high road,
even now as both
the high and the low
are deep under water.
even now i remain isolated
deep in my bunker,
behind brink and stone,
slowly losing my mind,
paranoia flavors my coffee.
when i tele-connect with
my shrink she asks if i
need anything to help,
i presume she means
meds but sometimes
i wonder.
we are deep in a war,
most don’t realize it.
POC know it and
have lived it longer
than the privileged
class will understand.
some days i understand
and only feel an unspeakable
sorrow, some days i
just wonder
what the fuck is going on.
