Words Fail Me

Words fail me
illogic sickens our world
as we’re caught in the
dystopic distemper 
of our times.

The ice cube’s melting
the waters rising,
yet our house burning
as this ill wind blows
nobody no good
and that puff of LA breeze
only spreads the stench
of viral victims.

Our future discounted
by doubting Thomas deniers
prophets of false truths
doubling down on 
discounted discredited lies
whilst the cryptocurrency  
of insurrection warps
once patriotic minds.

Words fail me.
