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
