A World of Flux and Spam

People sinning, bad men grinning
A world of flux and spam

To fight the horrid, slow the torrid
The smart ones have a plan.

By election, or selection
You’ll be part of this fight

Poked and prodded, shame allotted
They’ll force you to ‘the light.’

Burned and scoured, endless glowers
You wonder what comes next

They taunt and bait, incarcerate
To make it all ‘correct.’

But nature vying, break the lying
Smashes cries of ‘hate.’

Strictures failing, soon travailing
Truth comes by too late

Realization, not imagination
You are just what I am

People sinning, bad men grinning
A world of flux and spam.
