by Alex Gildzen - Santa Fe, New Mexico
while the president
is on vacation
from compassion
his mother
fingering the wattles
under her pearls
fears not the corpses
but the poor
evacuated too close
to her country club
the secretary of state
is off
on a shopping spree
the emergency manager
never learned to manage
so children
plead for help
husbands watch
wives swept under
pets drown
& the president
consults his hacks
about the dive
in his approval ratings
there's poison
in the water
that floods

I commend your honesty and your compassion. Too bad those who run this country lack any! Bless you!
