CRY —

Run! Run!
OxyContin
empty bottles
flooding bins
what a state
our states are in.

Oh what have you
done to US? To Me?
country, world, decency?

Not just that one man, it’s all
who took the USA —

Taking, and taking away —
they the throngs of angry ignorant
the blubber-lipped sycophants
the self-appointed Kings
of power and filthy wealth taking
us all down on bloody knees.

Oh what a state
our states are in
as we are hunted
by our skin.

Words of appreciation and admiration are felt by this reader, as the emotion generated by the text and the unique way of collage-picturing is oh so impactful... so tearful. So pleased you took the time to share these thoughts of remarkable, obvious experience.
"Oh what a state
our states are in
as we are hunted
by our skin." Indeed, my friend, indeed. Bravo!

"Blubber-lipped sycophants and self-appointed kings" I wonder who that may be. Love it. What a state indeed ! ! !
