In Today's News

People run and scream.
Pop, pop, pop comes from 
seemingly every direction 
but which, actually, 
and by whom.
Wildfires stealing homes
and endless forests.
Talk of another pedophile 
in the Vatican--quickly hushed.
Long despondent eyes 
of homeless animals
and starving children.
A new generation of corruption
and a Neo-Nazi regime
wanting to be stirred
under our feet.
The KKK adorn still 
their favorite sheets
of Mississippi white
with grade-school cutouts 
revealing dead pupils.
The American stage: a show 
depicting colossal idiocy 
as we sit in the audience
throwing over-ripe tomatoes
after every contemptuous line.
