As it happens.

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.

Many folks not happy with Trump, a cry from the heart!

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!

Such a sad state of existence. A poem that stabs the heart.

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