the news poems

A lunatic in the sky
With schizophrenic rage
Has made landfall,
The cone of ferocity
Has grown with the wind,
Spinning and swallowing
Anything in its path,
Innocent bodies left askew
As we revisit the inhumane
On CNN in replay replay replay
To wash the brain
With liquid fear and rhetoric,
Inducing pain twenty four
Hours a day,
Seduction has taken place
For another schizophrenic
Rage on the train
With a seven inch blade,
No warning,
No time
To say goodbye.
