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.
