Maurice Yvonne Poet Free verse

Naked and Raw

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

Shadows of leaves against migrants stripped of bark

Children hidden against a darkened sky
A cup of river foaming at the mouth

Suited men and women laced swirl about with noxious airs
Walk blindly into an imaginary sun longtime set

Sink into the plastic remnants of bottles drank
The dew on their skin stings like acid spilt

Breathing particles drawn with charcoal pencils lit

And I think to myself what a Trumped up World

Jan Allison August 27, 2018 at 9:53 AM It's sure is a 'Trumped up' world Armand and it's a scary place to live for many:-( It would be a heck of a lot sweeter without that moronic tweeter!:-) hugs Jan xx
