UPRISING.

Petroleum flowers are laid

on the gravestones of dead politics,

like a trickle of daisy chains

on shores of corrupt heritics,

revolt spreads like the blood

soaked price of rising grain.

MJ DUGGAN.

Taken fromĀ ’THE DARK STAR’ poems

    Very timely. But so intensely short. I’m a fan…

    It may be short, but it’s a mighty powerful little write! Love the final line, soaked price of rising grain…seems all we covet is golden! A timely and compelling read.

    Like the mention of revolt based on previous imagery.
