KILIMANJARO

Garbage invades

Truth sometimes offends

Calculated swipe

At the powers that be

Neither yield

Nor tolerate

Poet’s pain

Militant ganglion

My fertile mind’s Kilimanjaro

Floating on clouds of pepper gas

Unearthed burial shroud

Expose of a blackened halo

No reprieve for perfect attendance

Noise pollution

Suffocation

Mental oxidation

Political masturbation

Skeletons haunt the war chest water closet

Neighborly asphyxiation

In the name of amelioration

The end
