Human In Shame
are we human or a
mutant strain
of insect?
mindless of the pain
our stings inflict
on hope’s most
helpless,
grinning gladly,
i’d fly eye-first
into your
flame,
if only you’d wipe
the human from
my name.
+++++
and toss the soiled rag into
a glad bag with my
other name
tags.

A perfect poem for these perilous times.
Unfortunately, eh? (Oops, let my Canadian slip) 😉 Thanks for taking the time to share.
Excellent poem!
Wow, thank you!
