Florence Weinberger-lII


Plague

 

 

It isn’t stroke or old age

that erases our language

and razes our voices.

 

A blight has muffled tenderness.

The righteous have resigned.

Some, given cash incentives,

sell their minds.

 

Convinced they are ineffective,

the good stay home.

The self-elected fill the gap,

inventing truths, disinfecting lies.

 

Like ravaging birds they cross the land

squawking caw caw caw caw caw,

we will change your life.
