Long From sea to shining sea Poems

I ask myself a rhetorical question regarding...

How did the human species manage to survive
with many means
of self destruction at their disposal?

Electorate witnesses wounded beast...
flailing, lurching, and writhing in throes of agony

Trumpets blare acknowledging
crack hunters lucky strike,
i.e. bullseye salvo shot at
innocuous yet brutish
and nasty looking Homo sapien
courtesy elite militia incapacitates,
(yet doth not kill) mortal enemy.

yet that’s not all that my heart sees
There “above...

gasping for breath..
gasping for breath…
