Unjust Indigestion
Her death could have been avoided
If someone had listened to her cries
Someone left their trainers on the porch
Then muddied the house mat
They called their names in villages
And marches around the world
But the circus revolves
And the clowns keep prancing
The videos of despair continue
But weariness has sluggishly settled in
While pessimism weaves pathways
Behind the invasion of frolicking trolls
The choices are paltry
But the steps need taking
For when the mockingbird sings
Scavenger crows return home to rest
For when need is stronger than desire
And torment incites lingering disgust
Then the time for fall sowing
Comes before the spring reaping
While the chants are still being sung
With self-righteous fervor
Yet, the rhythm must be woven anew
To still the tide of pending disaster
