No Peace for the Wicked

Liar, Liar, Mother Earth on Fire

live by the lie die by the lie

easily misled by sociopaths who cry

war is peace ignorant belie

no justice no peace no shut eye

nature knows that by and by

oceans warm watch fish fry

hoping for the wells to dry

goodbye Goldilocks and die Lorelie


P.S. with thanks for inspiration provided by Isaiah 57, George Orwell, Robert Southey, Heinrich Heine and Thich Nhat Hanh who reminds us:

“We have a seed of anger in us. We have a seed of compassion in us. The practice is to help the seed of compassion to grow and the seed of anger to shrink.”
