Fermented Pollen


                    The beer gardens of hatred
                            are in full bloom
                          Fermented flowers 
                     of genetic flaw fanaticism
                         is tavern fomenting
           Foaming anger is being violently spread
                     on the winds of agitation
 Upside down cloud nines are bar code vex tripling,
          as the weak-willed urge to vomit resist 
                     are whether vain wilting
              Autumn spring retrograde progress
                     has mid-summer arrived
                           with wintry ease
        Sweet wine lying words of fermented pollen
                         are sourly spreading
  Milk poppy discourse is being frost frothily heard — 
                There’s pandemic fear in the air,
  traveling rabidly on the mockingbird wings of despair
         The pandemonium lips in the beer gardens
                   are bar stool pigeon flapping
    Sable syntax stamens love the pagan pistil sound
                 of the sin text send stammering
         Wavy flagellate foams of intoxicating hate 
             invectively spew the inebriated seeds
               Suggestive bound violent strings
  move the petal puppets on a pollen blown breeze
           Oh such a stinging, jingoism buzz ...
   making nettle hearts grow nightshade numb, 
                 darkly drunk with power
        Paralyzing the budding morals within
                   the partakers thereof
       Plastic bottle souls, empty of empathy,
litter the fallow ground of those fermented gardens
             Lemming plants so bloodthirsty
                  for the brimstone reign 
            carrying cursed firewater pollen

These beer gardens of hatred you reference are blooming everywhere these days. Pollinators left and right. Well-stated, O Chronicler of the Times. Smiles amidst the Poison, Gershon
