we traveled to the edge of town,
a place that stank of malady
and pestilence that we
all feared to catch
to see the ideology
that some still hold to heart —
although, to call that “heart”
was quite a stretch
and yet, it’s almost everywhere,
in this form or in that one:
we miss it sometimes, in
our ease, or haste —
the evil things that people think
that lead to worse that they may do,
so much that could be good,
just gone
to waste
More demerits please. They are really heading towards a major opus!
