Buzz's Horses
Suicide bombers
strew body parts
in every direction
Parents beat a child mercilessly
make her eat dog feces
and lock her in a trunk to suffocate
"Soldiers" rape anything female
regardless of age and then mutilate
their vaginas with bayonets
Thousands of refugees
huddle together in a foreign country
waiting to die of hunger
A man goes on a rampage
killing 76 fellow humans
because he disagrees with their politics
Politicians play chicken with the economy
because of one party’s obsessive
hatred of a non-white President
All this and more
and over in neighbor Buzz’s corral
the horses aren’t bothered at all
profound, love the word flow.
