In other news

The forests burned

Ice caps melted

No one learned

We all stopped listening

To each other

But continued shouting

At one another

Threw our plastics

In the sea

Gorged ourselves

On misery

Refused to let

Our neighbours in

Treated losses

As a win

Praised the rich

And damned the poor

Pissed against

Austerity’s do...

discarded

discarded

 

you could see right through me

a swift pick up

a gulp

a quickie

then off to do your thing

 

feeling used and dirty

then discarded

trodden on

kicked around

left to feel like rubbish

 

the slow decline

the breakup

falling apart

going to pieces

 

feeling so small

so insignificant

as if no one knows

you’re there at all
