FOCUS POCUS or Who Needs Horror Movies When You're In One?

 

Didn’t we just slink out of our longest war?

When only military families lived in wartime

Then Russia invades Ukraine

And gas, rent and bread explode here


Biden and Obama masks 

Terrorize red states

Trump and Putin scare blue

Only democracy lost the election


Shadows of coat hangers

Tales of infanticide and girls

Enslaved by pregnancy

Swirl over campfires


My wallet is shrinking

Like everything in my pants

Only my student debt

And waistline grows


My degree is just a receipt

So I work remotely

Sending out resumes

To the internet of trolls


Count Fentanyl is Dracula

Children turned zombie

After half a face

And no friends or school


Manmade or not

Accept our lot

Mother Nature and ourselves

Have turned cruel
