    Not Life or Death

    Strange apocalyptic wind,
    it reminds me of the wizard of oz..
    but a conceited, real version.
    How dear the earth and weather coincide..

    Limp
    lifeless streams of muddy rivulets.
    Shocked
    News teams with endless words and
    floral helicopters.

    Gathered poor and 'minorities'.
    Settling for a flooded pit of oozing loss,
    the death and hurt and destruction
    sweeps

    and continues

    but still the authorities and
    powers that be
    do not cease the fake sympathy
    as they pretend to care
    and make it look like they're helping.

    It's all about politics now.
    Not life or death.
