Writing a poem like this one reminds me of the time I ran over my cat as it slept on my driveway. I had to then bag my dead cat, after watching it die in spasms, and bury it on our backyard hill. A completely lame experience. This piece is from the anthology, Scenes From the Cerebellum, a work in progress.

The Next Hitler The next Hitler will execute the world’s masses, Using costly powerful pharmaceuticals; Feel-good grenades that bring euphoric explosions. Metal bombs and bullets belong to a former age, An old-school time when murder was expensive. Whereas confining thousands of prisoners in camps, Well, that is certainly not cost-effective either. Food to feed these worthless ones Requires a fortune in gold. Best to leave the stressed masses alone, Let them work for pitiful wages. Let them toil and suffer as animals in barren times. We will sit back and watch, and wait, As they slide into addiction’s vagina, Unable to think, move or breathe.
