poem of the day November 

Kings of the jungle

Kings of the asphalt jungle 

The civilized wilderness

wasteland of cities

Kings of every concrete abstraction  

Attention all:

Kings pushing for the metaverse 

now have police recruiting

criminals and priests 

to wear long guns

as they put up posters

of narcissistic stars

Photoshopped copies of reality gone bad

Those megalomaniacs

vying for each other's attention

spout nothing but loaded words

full of hate and grievance 

used very well to divide the civilized

especially the Kings who drink their own kool aid
