The Lion Hunt by Jan Tik
born innocent omniscient pure
into a world-illusion that celebrates
cowardice
clouded vision can’ts and won’ts
knowing little caring less
base needs unsanitized and monetized
until consumer becomes commodity
invisible shackles
un-personhooded humanity vs
corporate people
in this here-now place
lives are pre-determined
love equals sedition
thought initiates insurrection
compassion a refractory protest
watch them shrug
and walk away
because living
is too hard
~ Susie Hewitt, that crazy Las Vegas poet
born
into
cowardice
clouded vision
caring less
needs monetized
consumer commodity
shackles
humanity
people
place
lives
love equals
thought initiates
compassion
watch
walk away
living
NOT too hard
