Mess
If sour cream is good,
then why is spoiled milk bad?
Does sour cream get "more"-sour with age?
Does it go backward, by turning less?
Milk... spilt!
Why is this important?
Because they make a great deal about it.
Changes whole futures,
starts wars,
and ends them.
Looks like a butterfly,
stings like a bee.
Huh.
Is that a murder hornet,
or a Vax bat?
There is something rotten,
in the market...
that has no name,
but they sell it for a dime.
People buy it,
even if they do not know...
that they do.
It is a sign,
of the time.
Shoplifters stealing countries,
for the sport of attacking flies.
A dire field of despair,
and reckless beliefs.
There is a scarecrow standing,
but no pumpkins to guard.
There is no water left,
to drink.
Clean up takes effort,
and there is little left.
Can you feel the brokenness,
of the theft?
Ann Foster
God bless your day!
