Oh Yes, It Could Get Worse

Fear sucks at
my spine, like
a leech,
slimy and black.

The crowds
laugh and imitate
each other.
No creativity,
only brutality.
Little lemmings.
They get raises and
promotions,
accolades in bunches.

Killers of the
dodo and the redwood.

They smile over
tea and the
bones of dead men.

Perfect in
their machine like
minds; immune to death,
like the quest for power.

I fear it is only going to get worse and wonder whether it will ever really get get better .. It seems we are existing in some kind of universal decline and at the mercy of a handful of power crazed narcissists .. Nevertheless, I remain an increasingly devoted fan of your ink sir .. Neville

Thank you, brother. I'm a fan of yours too.

Power corrupts. I’m already worried about the future , but I do believe it’s likely to get worse. Plenty of leeches about sucking the life blood out of people. Strong write Thomas.

Thank you, Chris.

A grim one here. There are, unfortunately, those whose lives are quests for power. When they get in control of national governments, nothing good can result.

Thanks for commenting John.
