The earth is spinning faster
Flinging things out of place
Guns into the hands of
12-year-olds
Pedophiles onto altars
Somalis to Sioux Falls.
The rich are hold up in
their castles and McMansions
Their objects bolted firmly to
their egos.
The poor are saving up
cardboard
For the time they must beg on
the streets.
The news of good deeds is
buried
In the muck and shit of
titillating media.
People live not by wisdom
But by the twisted tales
told on their screens.
Spin spins the world
Till truth stumbles in
drunken dizziness.
But hope and imagination are
potent as superheroes
Sometimes sporting their own
magical powers.
