Viral Nero

Our high parody burns while super-heroes play fiddle.
The hopeful rich wail with privilege, “This can’t be the middle!”.

As tensions between classes become ever more molten…
The proletariat seek safe spaces to revolt in.

Each siloed caste level’s armed & strapped with their safeties off.
While the bubbled entitled read through hard facts with a scoff.

Truth & perspective, conflated or switched into true lies.
Not knowing the difference is how democracy dies.

I pen this not to judge or to our divisions speak down.
Just trying to make sense of the senseless hate going round.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
