I saw starving people in a forest green
where a raven ate a dead snake
there a vegan slaughtered a bean
soaring eagles into slaves he did make
justice blinded by human predation
exterminated wolves, saving sheep
temperance workers addicted to medication
dropped atom bombs so millions can sleep

Wow, an unbelievable impact of imagery. 🌹
Thank you Teddy this one is a little obtuse but underneath it all it has a meaning.
Politics? 🤣

It's a crazy, mixed up, shook up world.
Thank you so much for the read and comment yes it is a crazy world but one that follows its own order. This poem is crazy and shook up but underneath there is order.
Nihilistic in the extreme, Soren. I both liked it and felt repelled by it. Best I can do - Sorry.
Success!! Then the meaning came through in emotion. Thanks so much Dave for the review and insightful emotional response. To me meaning in poetry is not always cognitive but rather emotional. I am thrilled.
A fine write SB.
Ahh, an idea of what I can cook for KP's dinner - a dead snake! lol.
Thanks Orchi for the read but be sure the snake is dead live ones tend to crawl out of the pan.
The imagery here is strange and chaotic. The world is changing, who knows what lies in store for the future. Glad I won’t be around in fifty years time to find out. The future looks bleak. Great read.
Yes strange is one word I already said that it is obtuse but there is a message and the title is a hint. Thank you so much for the read and comment. Hope you are here for a good long time.
Brilliant!
Thanks Alan I appreciate your read and generous comment
