A Poisonous Union

Add colour to a bunch of expensive waste, Its still rubbish
to rescue a prey from its determined predator create an exit
in one cubicle is a hungry snake and a well nurtured fish
to suggest fairness in this scene, we stubbornly close it
one is feasted upon for another to have a nice dish
yet for political correctness we look away to the opposite.

Kevin Shaw Date: 6/21/2017 2:51:00 AM Hello Funom, I was very curious to read this poem, simply by the fact that it had been read over 2000 times in a very short space of time. Well now I know; your words and phrasing are wonderful, not only that, but perceptive and true of the world we live in. I work for a local council authority in England and would love to be able to post something like your poem on my Chief Executives BLOG page. Thank you for sharing your poem, congratulations and kind regards, Kevin Login to Reply Funom Makama Date: 6/30/2017 7:19:00 AM Thank you so much Kevin Shaw... Please feel free and post it anywhere

Reason A. Poteet Date: 3/6/2017 8:18:00 PM Love the title, Funom. Color does nothing to cover up the waste, especially wasted wealth. There's hope if we can only get away from merely being politically correct and get to the heart of the matter. Well-said...keep writing.
