Birth of the Inhuman

Froth festers from the slack-jawed maw,

blathering barbaric prattle.

He babbles--

squeals, squirms, like worms, writhing till he withers while the

whip claps

with clacks,

which cracks

his skin.

Archeology of Society

we dig dust

and follow fallacy,

search for symptoms

that define a day

hailed as humanity,

tugging the threads,

unraveling our underbelly,

chipping a

frail foundation

to ashes and answers.

Chapter 257 of 448

Huddled

War’s wounded

Famine’s flotsam

Ragged rejects

Lesser lives

Collecting crumbs

Scarcely survive.

Huddled, hopeless, humanity

Uncounted, unwanted, unloved

Forgetting freedom’s fantasy.

Hushed Humanity

Homeless hunker in hellish habitat

Hovering to holler on highway

For handouts from hostile humanity

Hesitating as they hold hats for harsh hearts

Howling for help as they hiss hungrily.

Plight Of Our Population

Plight of our population:

Panning for purpose.

Grasping at gobs of gold,

Green-eyed and gentrified.

Buzzing like Beelzebub;

Busy being barren.

Damned denizens devoid of dreams.

DON'T DEVIATE!

Humanity Insanity Inhumanity

Humanity insanity

Humongous fungous

We are but earthlings

Soft and fluffy

Engrained deep lined

Enslaved engraved desires

Addiction affliction malediction

We are pawns

Coded Flawns

Forever tilled.
