Emotional Eruption Follows Federal Corruption

EXPRESS

Further into this I delve, just to rhyme with IdeaStream №12:

Rage spews from my heart like lava
as yellow-bellied politicians
mismanage this crisis
risking my life along with theirs.

As midnight gives way to sunrise,
it should come as no surprise
that lockdown precedes liberation.

But where the hell are the friggin’
test kits, you fools? Words as shaky
as jello do nothing to re-assure,
so we flood to the stores
and stock up on toilet paper,
because they are so full of sh*t.

And a bloody microscopic organism
ends up the big winner. But hey,
I’m not bitter.

This poem was inspired by a ten-word prompt in IdeaStream №12:

Marilyn Flower writes political humor and satire to delight socially and spiritually conscious folks. She’s a regular columnist for the prison newsletter, Freedom Anywhere, where she writes about faith and prayer. Five of her short plays have been produced in San Francisco. Clowning and improvisation strengthen her resolve during these crazy times.
