The pinnacle of abuse
is preying on your own
Jackal, politician,
mercenary, or priest
Their cloak of deception
hiding unspoken lies
Approaching your doorstep
—in the guise of a friend
(The New Room: January, 2021)
"Condemned To Repeat...
The Pharisees vengeance,
unleashing again
To kill a ‘false’ prophet,
their fear redescends
The cross is made ready,
like ages before
The nails though still rusty,
hammer deep and secure
Their memories short sighted,
rejecting the fact
The last one they crucified…
alive and intact
A new Resurrection
they’re about to ensure
Through hatred and envy
—damnation procured
(For Sister Marcella: January, 2021)

So true, and so well written, Kurt!
Thanks Fred, appreciated.
'A new Resurrection
they’re about to ensure
Through hatred and envy..'
utilising systemic divisive strategies
that has society - fractioning
with each new surge
of identity politics, where
me, myself and I
count first - learnt, by following
capitalisms stranglehold
on democracy's warped fragility
ripe, for those with greed
as their most fervent need
to evermore dominate
and pitifully, knowingly decimate...
thanks for inspiring my little chorus of reply, to your insightful and ever accurate commentary of society's many plagues my friend,
a great write, once again!
What great commenting, thanks!
