Good morning! Happy Friday! Another tough one for me. #PoemsAbout #Rot As always, thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk I'll be back later to read and comment on others!
Poem:

Composting
Fools seek fools’ gold,
for a glimpse of gain—

destroy the seas
forgo the rain—

they rot from within
belching bellies, dissolving spines,

upped on T,
mean with greed.

Can protests, people, press
break down the morass--

what might we grow
after decomposition, in new soil?

#poemsabout #rot My first attempt at #cascade #poetry
Political rot runs deep
Lies and blind loyalty 
Leads to autocracy 

We must not be naive
We must vote to save Democracy 
Political rot runs deep

We must crush the GOP
They will lose and try to cheat
We must not be naive 

Cut the GOP gangrene out
If we don’t the rot will spread
We must crush the GOP

Voting is each citizen’s right
So do not be dissuaded - VOTE
Cut the GOP gangrene out
