Poetry Thursday 52 - Civil Unrest etc

The violence that is being spread across the country and probably generated and spread with the help of social media, right-wing press and probably extreme right-wing politicians, shouldn't go without comment. 



Civil Unrest

 

Never an excuse for violent deeds,

weaker intellects provide fertile soil

for the growing of society’s weeds.

 

Sowing poisonous political seeds,

fertilised with rancid vegetable oil,

never an excuse for violent deeds.

 

Causing unrest not satisfying needs,

employing social media to spoil,

for the growing of society’s weeds.

 

Sponsored by those whose role is service leads,

forgetting the votes were for public toil,

never an excuse for violent deeds.

 

Nothing is good when the damaged heart bleeds,

as a result of foolish stir and boil,

for the growing of society’s weeds.

 

Don’t step into a realm of driven greeds,

falsely painted by no artist in oil,

never an excuse for violent deeds,

for the growing of society’s weeds.
