POLITICAL Poem: GAZA, UKRAINE, RUSSIA, AND THE ISRAEL, by Andrew Lafleche

a sphere of curiosities spun and slingshotting around the sun
really fast and a year at the same time slow
where invisible lines dictate who’s right and who’s wrong
at any given moment on any given election cycle, everywhere.
curious sphere, on fire, flooding, blowing hard, frozen
yet mostly wet, little men with big guns, all grown up
with remote control cars, traded them for remote control planes
trained in kamikaze taking aim at someone never to be known.
ender’s game in the sky, while in the street people too convinced that
all uniforms are bad, attack them doing their jobs because, a.c.a.b.
fuck the police, mothers of three and fathers of two who want to make
the streets safer for their kin, abused attempting a once honest living.

everybody right and everybody wrong and religion is disappeared
but reborn in anti-religion and party lines and say one thing
political and your entire bible of belief can be predicted by chatgpt
and somehow deceived that any of our opinions are unique–
if both my neighbours are my enemy, will we ever live in peace?
