Ink Puddle

muddled words
dripping from the west
sun setting puddle

poets by and by
poets try and try

muddle in the middle
east of the great divide
piddle in the puddle
of a bloody grave
tombstones cry

desert dunes of sand
bullet holes of oil
flow to the gulf
of turpentine
west of genocide

dance of a foot
soldiers hypnotized
strong armed digitized

muddle in the puddle
of bloody red
bullets fled
while cars
bombed radicals
blow up
east of humility

angels fly
in a pigs eye
Oink! Oink!

middle of the muddle
praying to the sky
bullets fly

waves of bloody ink
shores stained
Why?

poets by and by
poets try and try

drowning in the ink puddle
