The putrid blood
Of human civilization
Forged by greed
Disguised as necessity
Raising the three gods
Bathed in emerald light
Scraps of decorated paper
Chunks of etched metal
Numbers
That only exist in space
These deities are worshipped
And horded by their faithful
Who gnash their teeth
And hiss their venom
At all who ask for aid
These gods maintain a hollow temple
Where food and water
Come second to the Emerald Ones
Where shelter
Is denied
To those that lack the blessings
Leaving them too cold
Too thirsty
And too starving
To try join the congregation
Of the Church of Greed
(This is an older poem, but after events of yesterday, I think it’s appropriate for me to post. I’m tempted to go on a rant about the topic, but it usually ends up with me getting into a fight with someone. Enjoy the poem and I’ll post a more positive one to counter this later today.)
