Glory

By Frederick Foote

Glory

The stock markets are stark raving mad with success
as homelessness soars amidst cries of disgust and
pleas to hide all signs of fecal paved lanes, gutter urinals
to look away from shell shocked children, and the
antics of fickle, storm fed, fire enraged, ocean rising
Motherfucking Nature and gaze upon the sparkling
stars of low unemployment numbers, blessed dividends and
astonishing accumulations of wealth and privilege
that is our legacy, obituary, history, shame, and glory
