Bush Meat (I thought this was going to be about LynneSin...thank heavens it isn't)
There is a bear
out there
on the ice
starving,
searching for food,
slowly dying.
He was once the king of the realm,
majestic, primal, beautiful
– and I am supposed to
listen to
and vote for
clowns.
There is a bear
in there
with her cubs
hungry,
spring has come early
slowly frying the forest.
She lived once surrounded by food,
plenty, harvest, variety
– and I am supposed to
stand by
and invest in
rapists.
There is a tiger,
over there,
in the jungle,
fleeing,
looking for life,
chased and hunted.
She was once queen of her matrix
superb, camouflaged, mysterious
– and I am supposed to
stand silent
as our numbers prodigiously increase.
There is a gorilla,
deep inside
the cathedral of leaves
surrounded by young
exhausted, running.
She was once safe matriarch of tribe
such power, such peace,
majestic, secretive, shy.
And now the murderers
and rapists
hunt her
– for bush meat.
There is a beetle
in there
gnawing on the
future
we have betrayed,
squandered,
for profit.
And I hear
the sound
of a billion tiny
mouths
eating
tomorrow.
By an anonymous Internet friend who gets it.

(With further apologies to Paul Simon)
There is a bear.
out there
Jellystone
searching,
for pick-a-nic baskets,
because racist !.
He was once a cartoon legend,
witty, funny, and hand drawn
– and I am supposed to
enjoy him
redone in
CGI.
There's a carebear
in there
with her friends
MLP,
Monchichi
all so soft and cuddly.
She lived once on a DUmmy's bed,
kittehs, goggies, bunnehs
– and I am supposed to
ignore
the starchy stains
on them.
There is a Buick,
over there,
by the library,
rusting,
1st gen iPad,
cracked and busted.
She was once queen of the beggars
homeless, liberal, activist
– and I am supposed to
just ignore
human remains in the back seat.
There is a 'reporter',
deep inside
the Isle of DUmb
also a medic, military, weathergirl
The Good Rig, filming.
She was once safe matriarch of tribe
such wisdom, such pride,
even Supperman had to abide.
Suffice it to say
the bullies
hunt her
– because sexist.
There is a Beetle
in there
filled with chickens
"farmette"
targeted by evil,
Democrat based,
city council.
And I hear
the sound
of a billion whiny
twerps
attacking
an old flag.
