Sweet Nectar

One man attends the funeral for a slain police officer, murdered while simply doing his job, a routine traffic stop, for Christ sake! The other man attends a glitzy star-studded fundraiser filled with wealthy elite, whose gold-plated plans are kept secret behind the scenes, hidden from lesser folk, who can't know and would not understand, it tastes good when shoved down the throat; becoming a sweet nectar--life will be easier when fools own nothing and are happy.

a poem filled with powerful truth, especially the last two lines. The problem is, fools don't stay fools forever, especially when nectar is shoved down their throats. The day of reckoning and comeuppance will come one day.
