Back

the profiteering circus
clowns kick soiled
sawdust in our faces
and let their bile
trickle down
from their banquets
follow the money
there's no way
to amass it clean
in the quantities
they lust after
dumbly hard and wet
for extraction
that burns or floods
or bankrupts
the less dangerously
avaricious from the earth
weaponising crisis
for ethnic cleansing
