Rigged current

Tides of life rise,
with aim to consume.

Stay afloat by ceaseless sculling—
and count self lucky—
from one day to the next.

Tides rise wildly
in the face of a leadership monopoly,
dark skies looming,
illuminated by bureaucratic lightning
and ominous claps of thunder—
a storm making violent the tide.

Swimming blindly,
no reset button in sight,
a cureless malady—
of corrupt statesmen—
with a Get Out of Jail Card-Free.

It’s about Monopoly with a Twist at dVerse!

  1. I love where the image took you, on a stormy journey to the tides rising wildly ‘in the face of a leadership monopoly…illuminated by bureaucratic lightning and claps of thunder’, and the ‘corrupt statesmen—with a Get Out of Jail Card-Free’. A timely observation.
