Bad Karma

what hero rides to the rescue
of our hapless lost republic
rich yet predominantly poor
peuliarly confused passively
consuming much too much
we like convenience rely on
comfort not to be unhappy

bad karma builds up I am
afraid chickens come home
shocked silly dangerously
afraid reactive blaming us
ISIS is the same people who
destroyed the cities in the
Late Bronze Age Collapse

we are not there but here
still protected by oceans we
ought not to disregard trash
never helps revenge earns
interest greatly owed we're
overexposed never learning
be quiet keep out of the way
