Blood falls
Over bits of bone
Stripped bare
By unfeeling fingers
And sharp tongues
As the world devours
All that’s clean
And good,
Engorging itself
On the pure
And filling the void
With bile and greed
In an attempt
To overthrow
Our sense of
Community spirit
With the idea that
Individualism
Is better for the economy-
And that anything
Can be bought
For the right price.
