Dilemmatic

hovering o’er head
a halo? likely stars…
a circle of cuckoo birds
unconscionable violence
toward a sinner or saint

unconscious body…
could have deserved it or not
just desserts or rot…
a good samaritan steals
the show, pretentious or pure

violence of stars…
vigilant suffering haunts
amnesia of act…
his own? the perpetrators?
samaritan out of cash

samaritan posts
on social media, asks
legitimately or not…
green leaves falling from the trees
is he a treasure or thief?

victim lays in bed…
his feathers are dollar bills
and will he rise up…
or cash out? head stuffing-filled?
was he faking all along?
