Three senryus about the state of he world - June 11, 2025

Norman Flagtea

Hungry young fathers

raiding aid trucks and food banks

shot throught hands or legs.

 

 

 

Truck loads of corpses

returned to he enemy

in fumes of dry ice.

 

 

 

Cuban families,

Peruvian, Mexican,

chased and caught like deer.
