KILIMANJARO
Garbage invades
Truth sometimes offends
Calculated swipe
At the powers that be
Neither yield
Nor tolerate
Poet’s pain
Militant ganglion
My fertile mind’s Kilimanjaro
Floating on clouds of pepper gas
Unearthed burial shroud
Exposure of a blackened halo
No reprieve for perfect attendance
Noise pollution
Suffocation
Mental oxidation
Political masturbation
Skeletons haunt the war chest water closet
Neighborly asphyxiation
In the name of amelioration
The end
