Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I watch them struggle,
worms in the hot sun
slithering to the shades of life

the Haves
play the world
like a charlatan board-game

carelessly stepping
on limbless bodies.
This Pejorative Epithet

cast down
by royalty, are we really just
the creation of vermic compost

scraped off the million dollar boots
of CEO dipshits
with ingrown whiskers

NO
our lives matter....like the butterfly
and the bee, ...and the worm

we are all the fabric
of existential jackets, and we must never
allow anyone to step on our dignity

fuck their money
fuck their power
Solidarity my love

is our way to healthier days
with no frayed threads....
we'll wear our clothing like banners of justice

thank you for writing that.

you're welcome truck

Our lives do matter

Our lives matter. Until they don't.

yeah mnaz...depends on the evaluator.....

our lives matter...
as long we have something
the Haves want
but once they've got it
we're just so many paper wrappers
tossed from the windows
of their BMWs

The pyramid scheme can only go so far until the foundation starts eroding upward.

Pyramids take so goddamn long to erode. In the meantime we have poetry. And that does matter a lot

enjoyed all the comments...there has never been such a disparity of wealth....it's never enough for some absurd reason...this dystopian contest of who has the biggest dick that causes immense suffering....these nuts are willing to destroy the planet to "win" the game...but as truck pointed out we have our poetry and art and friendships....

for so many the lottery is the only hope....a bone thrown at the feet of the needy to dive on all at once....hoping for a place at the table

it's good we have distractions like S8....thanx Doreen
