Who Is This

Posted on October 30, 2019 by Beverly Magid in Beverly's Blog

10/19/19

He sits in his office, looking down at the world, grunting orders, hearing nothing

He sits in his office, ignoring the cries of the world, scarfing burgers, feeling nothing

He sits in his office, surfing the dials, understanding nothing

What is this, not a man, not animal, vegetable or mineral

Who is this, not a heart, a brain, just callous indifference

Pretending to be human, but no blood flows through those calcified veins,

No breath inflates those shrunken lungs,

No thought animates the sclerotic mind.

Who is this, what is this, why is this,

A heavenly mistake, a misfit of ungodliness,

Bombarding the world with harmful prattle,

Sitting in his office, clutching his teddy close to his massive chest,

Sitting in his office, striking out at all who live,

Sitting in his office, a mass of deadly corruption,

Waiting to be taken away to the dung heap of mistakes.

Forever forgotten, forever reviled, forever removed.
